History And Present Day

Student radio at Manchester Metropolitan University started in the 1990's with the award winning Storm FM, a joint venture between MMU, The University of Manchester, UMIST and Salford University. Unfortunately, due to financial difficulties, Storm was forced to close in March 1998 and for almost a decade MMU was without its own radio station.

That all changed in 2006 when a group of intrepid MMU students founded a radio society and resolved to bring student radio back to Manchester Metropolitan University. Over the next year this team of dedicated individuals sacrificed much of their valuable drinking time to work on the project and, with a little help from some friendly university staff, successfully launched MMU Radio on 15 September 2007.

[http://www.mmuradio.co.uk| MMU Radio] is now Manchester’s newest student radio station, broadcasting over the internet 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Membership and Recuritment

The station is run entirely by students and actively recruits new members from Manchester Metropolitan University throughout the year. No matter the experience level of a recruit, MMU Radio works with them to bring their ideas to air.
