About

Leeds Student Radio is a student radio station broadcasting every day during term time from Leeds University Union at the University of Leeds. The station is run by an elected committee of student volunteers, and the management of the station is overseen by a full-time station manager employed by Leeds University Union. The station also provides live DJs for venues within Leeds University Union and the City of Leeds.

Formation

In the 1960s a group of students formed 'Network 4' and broadcast black-and-white programmes on a closed circuit around the university.

In 1968, Leeds University Union built a radio studio with an adjoining control room on the top floor of the students' union building.

It was built so that 'Network 4' could produce programmes for BBC Radio Leeds, with student productions including concerts, debates and dramas as well as a weekly 30-minute news programme called 'University City'.
In the late 1990s, TV presenter Anita Rani worked at the radio station.
