Student Radio Association

Nerve* Radio is a music based student radio station at Bournemouth University covering anything from a Live Lounge to specialist music shows. It is predominantly a pop and dance based station, with specialist music shows in the evening ran by students for students.

Nerve* Radio was set up in 1995 by two proactive students who wanted to have a radio station to use at their leisure. In the spirit of the Students' Union recognising eager, enthusiastic students we set it up for them. In the beginning Nerve* Radio was VERY different from the plush, sound proofed studios that there are now. It started in a porta cabin outside Poole House near to cash machine. Ever since 1995 we have run a two week FM broadcast each year, which is presented entirely by students here at Bournemouth University. In 2010, Phill Jupitus presented the Nerve* Radio breakfast show on FM with two other students, which was a great experience for all the volunteers who got to meet him and the lucky students who got to work on-air with him.

This year Nerve* Radio has formed its first student radio committee and has grown from strength to strength. Firstly by airing its first Freshers Broadcast in September 2010, to its live Christmas Special and recently raising over £500 for charity during its 24 hour broadcast event.

Station Founded 1995

Nerve* Radio started up when two students requested that there be a radio studio that they can use at their leisure. Being the Students' Union that we are, we set it up for them and since then it has transformed from an outside cabin into a plush soundproof studio next to the union offices.
