CSR FM is your Community & Student Radio station based in Canterbury, England, catering to the district of Canterbury. Having commenced broadcasting in January 2007, the station holds a Community FM licence, as awarded by Ofcom, with the purpose of serving the local community, those in or aspire to be in higher education, between the ages of 15 and 24.
The station broadcasts 24/7, 365 days a year to the local community of Canterbury on 97.4fm and online worldwide via this website and various supporting apps including iTunes and TuneIn. Shows are broadcast from our two studios, one situated in the Student Media Centre at the University of Kent, and one situated on the Canterbury Christ Church University North Holmes Road campus. We are also proud to be the first student-led community radio station in the country to be awarded a Community FM license, now 1 of 8.
The station is predominantly volunteer-run, made up of both students and members of the local community. Anyone aged 18 or over can join the station and benefit from the many opportunities we offer to our members including gaining experience in; presenting or producing a radio show, creating engaging and informative content, planning and producing events on one of the University campuses or in the local area, maintaining our vast amounts of equipment and sophisticated I.T. systems, conducting interviews with local artists, researching music, developing marketing campaigns and much more! For anyone aged under 18 years old, we offer a programme called The Youth Academy which is free to register on.
CSR FM formed through the merger of two student radio stations; UKCR (University of Kent) and C4 Radio (then Canterbury Christ Church College, now Canterbury Christ Church University.) The stations combined forces when both sought to apply for a Community FM license as they served a very similar audience. The station is proud to be recognised as the first of 8 student-led radio stations in the UK to be awarded with a Community FM licence, due for renewal in 2022.
