University radio

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The university radio (also called university radio or campus radio) is a non-commercial radio and is operated by students at a university . In Germany it is only available as a separate license class in some federal states . In the federal states in which Uniradio is not permitted on its own frequency , university groups only broadcast on an hourly basis, occasionally only pre-produced on frequencies from other providers, or they have to limit themselves to broadcasting via the Internet .

The first active university radio for university radio (today: radio hsf ) was created in 1950 in the GDR at the Ilmenau Engineering School , today's Ilmenau Technical University . In West Germany, several student associations tried in parallel to establish a student radio station. The ags broadcast its first broadcasts on amateur radio frequencies as early as 1953 at the TU Braunschweig. Due to the legislation in West Germany ( interstate broadcasting agreements ), it was not legally possible for any student association to operate a radio station until it was liberalized in the 1980s.

Below is an overview of the situation in Germany , Austria and Switzerland .

Germany

Baden-Württemberg

In Baden-Württemberg there are independent university radio stations within the license class of non-commercial local radio stations , which all share their frequency with a free radio station :

The following seven self-financed internet radio stations are run by students from Otto Friedrich University Bamberg , University of Bayreuth , Friedrich Alexander University Erlangen-Nuremberg , University of Applied Sciences Munich , University of Passau , University of Regensburg , Julius Maximilians University of Würzburg and the Technical University Deggendorf operated:

As part of the tests for the new digital radio standard DRM , three independent university transmitters went on air via shortwave. Some of the projects have since been discontinued.

Berlin / Brandenburg

The uniRadio Berlin-Brandenburg was founded in 1995 and until February 2005 broadcasted two hours every evening via VHF on the Star FM frequency as an independent provider in Berlin . However, the station was no longer allocated its own airtime and broadcast one hour of programming on Alex Offener Kanal Berlin on 97.2 MHz and via live stream on the Internet every day from 5 to 6 p.m. In the meantime, however, this station no longer exists.

In the summer semester of 2005, a campus radio was founded at the TU Berlin . Participants are students from Berlin universities and the University of Potsdam, who broadcast their programs via internet radio . The studio is located in the broadcast studio of the TU Berlin and is equipped with digital radio technology. The program first went on air in January 2006, but is not operated regularly.

Since the summer semester 2009 there is the campus radio funkUP in Potsdam . The program consists of a podcast that appears twice a week and includes various broadcast formats - from music, themed and magazine programs to radio plays and features. In addition, since May 2011 you can also hear the student team every two weeks in Berlin and Potsdam for one hour at 88vier . (As of January 2012)

In the winter semester 2010/11, the concept for couchFM , the Berlin campus radio, which is designed as a training radio and the students from all Berlin universities for collaboration , was developed at the Humboldt University Berlin as part of a course at the Institute for Media Studies under the direction of Wolfgang Mühl-Benninghaus is open. Since October 2012 couchFM has been broadcasting once a week, since 2013 twice a week on Mondays and Fridays from 5 to 6 p.m. at 88vier. The music show Klangkompott and the science talk Studentenfutter run on Mondays, while the magazine show runs on Fridays with music as well as student and Berlin-related topics.

Since 2016 couchFM has been broadcasting daily from 5 to 6 p.m. on the new frequency of the open channel ALEX Berlin . This changed in 2016 from the 88vier to the 91.0 MHz. In the same year, on October 13th, couchFM celebrated its 5th anniversary with a 5-hour live broadcast.

Bremen

There is no university radio frequency in the state of Bremen . In the 1990s, Radio Bremen 2 broadcast a “Campus Radio ” program in cooperation with the University of Bremen and the University of Oldenburg . This has been discontinued.

North Rhine-Westphalia

The state media authority of the state of North Rhine-Westphalia issues 24-hour licenses to university radio stations in a simplified procedure. This created a prerequisite for perceptible and viable transmitters with their own identity and strong identification potential. University radio stations have the opportunity to liven up the radio landscape with new formats and music programs and, in addition to public broadcasters and private radio, to achieve a significant audience share in the local markets.

When Uniradios were made possible in 1996 in North Rhine-Westphalia with an amendment to the state media law, "Radio ct", now called CT radio , was the first campus radio in North Rhine-Westphalia to receive a broadcast license for an unlimited live program and its own frequency in Bochum . Five more followed in Dortmund , Münster , Düsseldorf , Bielefeld and Cologne . In the meantime, East Westphalia and Bonn / Rhein-Sieg , Duisburg / Essen , Aachen and Siegen have also been added. In the former federal capital, several groups shared the transmission frequency until 2013.

The organization of these channels is based on registered associations , the employees are volunteers. The university radio stations are financed by university funds , contributions from association members and sponsorship . Advertising is not permitted. They broadcast live between two and ten hours a day. During the rest of the time, other stations are partly taken over or an automated music program is broadcast.

The following university radio stations are currently broadcasting in North Rhine-Westphalia:
