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).
