UniRadio Berlin-Brandenburg

The uniRadio Berlin Brandenburg was a university radio from Berlin and Brandenburg. It was founded in 1995 and broadcasted from 2005 on the frequency of the Berlin Open Channel (today "Alex") 97.2 MHz and via livestream. Today, only a few of the cultural programs launched under the uniRadio umbrella operate under this name.

history

The sponsoring association “uniRadio Berlin-Brandenburg eV” emerged from a project by the left-wing alternative radio broadcaster Radio 100 and was founded in May 1995. Of the former 13 universities and technical colleges in Berlin and Brandenburg only three remain in the sponsoring association. Until May 2008 the studio was located in the Institute for Journalism and Communication Studies at the Free University of Berlin in Lankwitz. Since then, it has been housed in the premises of the Open Canal Berlin (OKB) in Voltastraße in Mitte.

Until February 2005, Berlin's uniRadio broadcast as an independent provider in Berlin for two hours every evening on VHF on the Star FM frequency . Back then with between 4,000 and 12,000 listeners per hour. However, the station was no longer allocated its own airtime, so it was integrated into the OKB (now "Alex") program. The exact number of listeners was initially not recorded there.

In autumn 2007 the uniRadio also started a cooperation with the nationwide largest student magazine Unicum and published selected articles as podcasts on the website of the magazine.

program

For years, the centerpiece of the uniRadio program was the magazine program “Campus Live”, which was made by Praktis.

Today there are only the editorially independent culture, cinema and literature magazines as well as various special music programs such as the world music magazine “Planet Sounds”, the punk and ska special “Voice of culture” or the guitar rock program “Guitars galore”.
