Encyclopedia > GU2 Radio

GU2 is the radio station run by the students of the University of Surrey. They broadcast on 1350AM for term-time, and have a month on FM once a year. The University of Surrey (UniS) received its charter on September 9, 1966, and was at that time situated near Battersea Park in south-west London. ... Mediumwave radio transmissions (sometimes called Medium frequency or MF) are those between the frequencies of 300 kHz and 3000 kHz. ... FM radio is a broadcast technology invented by Edwin Howard Armstrong that uses frequency modulation to provide high-fidelity broadcast radio sound. ...


GU2 Radio is a society and is run by a committee, which is elected at annual general meetings held at the university. All students of the university may stand and vote in these elections.


The society must have a constitution which it is run by. The GU2 constitution can be found here. The GU2 constitution is related to the Union Constitution.

Tim Prince re-joined the station and broadcast his own programmes as Centre Radio (using the jingles from the then defunct Leicester ILR) and the presentation team expanded to include Troy Tempest and Big Nige, two friends from school who mistakenly believed that being a DJ on a pirate station would give them badly needed street-cred.
Surrey University where I became a presenter (and later the chief engineer) of the university radio station, University Radio Surrey (URS) (later to be re-branded Guildford Campus Radio (GCR) and currently known as GU2) which is a story for another day, suffice it to say that that wasn't an entirely legal operation either.
But sadly the plug had to be pulled on the project before it had even been put on the end of a piece of flex, when the wife of the team member who had access to the site in London gave birth to their first child just a month before the transmission was due.
