It's one of the oldest student radio stations in the country and is also one of the only stations that doesn’t playlist it's shows. Based on the top floor of Falmer House at the University of Sussex, URF broadcasts across campus, Brighton and the world via www.urfonline.com and on DAB (Digital

Radio). Student DJs determine the music policy, as URF is run entirely by student volunteers. So whether you're a big reggae fan or prefer a bit of R&B they'll probably be a show for you on URF. Getting involved in student radio is not only fun, but can be incredibly rewarding, looks great on your CV and past members have gone on to work for Juice 107.2FM and the BBC. There are lots of opportunities to get involved in the station - from hosting your own radio show to joining one of our teams (Music, News, PR and Events, Tech, Production).

Spring Broadcasting Applications are Open! 🌻

Hey Show Hosts!

We've opened broadcasting applications for the Spring Semester, and you can apply for a show starting right now! Please note we allocate shows on a first come first serve basis, so get your applications in ASAP to secure the timeslot you're hoping for.

Returning shows WILL have to reapply for their shows as we wipe the schedule clean every semester. We'll find time in the new year to contact all applicants regarding timeslots and training sessions! (if needed)

Enjoy the winter holidays and new year! ❄️

Hi Everyone! As we move closer towards winter and christmas break we thought it'd be the perfect time to host not one, but two socials. Coming up first we have an Off The Record making session. Off The Record was something we used to do in the past and looking to bring it back! Its a very simple yet creative and expressive way to show off your show on the schedule in a physical way that'll stay as part of URF history for years to come! This session will be next Wednesday from the URF Studio itself and we'll have a dedicated post early next week with more info!.

Finally we have a karaoke Sunday social with Falmer Bar, come along with friends and sing your hearts out to whatever song tickles your fancy! There'll even be free drinks for the first few singers (provided by Falmer Bar) so make sure you're there in time for that.

We look forward to seeing you all there! ❤️
