Radio Bailrigg FM

Bailrigg FM is Lancaster University's student radio station, with roots in campus broadcasting dating back to 1969. Student-produced music, news, interviews and podcasts form its output, giving members a place to develop their own programme ideas. The station sits within the university's media network and presents itself as Lancaster's student sound.

New releases and older favourites appear alongside shows with individual themes and interests. Students can work on presentation, journalism, music, engineering or marketing, with training and access to professional studios supporting that participation. The breadth of those roles makes Bailrigg a practical student media project as well as a source of entertainment for the campus community.

The programme titles reveal the freedom given to student selectors: The Vinyl Hour, Beck's Eclectic Hour and Back to the 80s sit beside I SKA'nt Believe It and A Little Night Music. Alfie Ralls presents Ambient Bailrigg, while Sam Carruthurs contributes The Big Bailrigg Breakfast Broadcast. The station has also featured a Lancaster Music Festival roundup and a Greenhouse Live Lounge, connecting its campus work with performances and musicians in the surrounding city.

Live events are another substantial part of its activity. Coverage of the Roses varsity competition gives students experience of producing sport and reporting from an event, while artist interviews and local music activity widen the programme's creative connections. Bailrigg FM offers a changing range of student perspectives, with the people making the shows contributing as much to its character as the music they select.
