ABOUT US
Welcome to Burst Radio, the University of Bristol’s award-winning student radio station.
Burst Radio is completely student-run. Every aspect of the station is controlled by passionate student volunteers, who are proud to represent every corner of life at the University of Bristol.
Burst Radio is a great way to kickstart a career in the media, and we have quite a roster of alumni. Former Burst Radio members include the comedians Marcus Brigstocke and Danny Robins, magician Chris Cox and breakfast show host Paris Troy.
A bit of history...
Student Radio in Bristol has an expansive history. It started in 1995 with a collaboration of UWE and UoB students forming Fresh FM. Separation occurred just two years later when Burst Radio was set up under a temporary FM licence. Burst Radio continued to broadcast for many years, and has experienced especially dramatic development over recent years.
We now run online from our studios in the Richmond Building on Queens Road, where we have a professional on-air broadcast room and an adjoining production studio.
