About Hub Radio

Hub Radio is a student radio station that broadcasts from the University of the West of England (UWE) in Bristol. The station broadcasts locally to Frenchay Campus on AM, on DAB digital radio and online. Hub Radio has its roots from a joint venture with Bristol University under the banner Fresh FM back in 1994. This existed for a matter of weeks at a time under a FM Restricted Service License. The station then relaunched in 1998 and 2002 under the name Radio Base, and again in 2005 under the name The Hub, with studios at the Rackhay in the city centre. In 1998, media students at UWE decided to revamp Fresh FM and rebranded the station as Radio Base. The station was relaunched again later in 2002 with an online stream, a five year AM license and moved into a building in Rackhay. The station was renamed 'The Hub' to reflect the station's desire to be the centre of the UWE Community. The station is now located on the UWE Frenchay Campus in new studios at The Students' Union at UWE, broadcasting on 1449AM and on DAB Digital Radio as part of an Ofcom trial.
