CSR 97.4FM is a community radio station based in Canterbury, England. It is funded by the University of Kent and Canterbury Christ Church University, as well as their associated Student Unions. The radio station broadcasts from studios at both universities 24 hours a day,〔(CSRfm: About )〕 with live broadcasting from 7 am to 12 pm. Despite being primarily aimed at students, it is not purely a student radio station. CSRfm was the first student-led community radio station in the country to acquire a licence. == History == Student Radio has existed in Canterbury since 1966,〔(About the University of Kent: 1959-69 )〕 initially on an unlicensed basis. In 1967, UKC Radio started broadcasting legally on an AM licence which covered the University of Kent campus only. Canterbury Christ Church University also had a student radio station, ''C4 Radio'', broadcasting on AM on a similar strictly contained basis. When Restricted Service Licences (RSLs) became available both stations periodically took advantage of the scheme to gain city-wide coverage on FM, albeit only for short periods. Each station allowed the other some airtime during their RSLs. Canterbury Christ Church University's first RSL broadcast occurred in 2002, under the then Station Manager, Jim Cohen. Test broadcasts established that most of the city could pick up the radio station as well as certain parts of the surrounding countryside. The RSL broadcast lasted 2 weeks and was generally considered to be a great success. The two student unions, which operated these radio stations, decided to make a single combined bid for the Canterbury community radio licence and were successful.〔(Pioneering radio station set to be launched )〕 In order to apply for the license Canterbury Youth Student Media (CYSM) Ltd. was set up which has directors compromising of members of both universities and their unions and also the executive committee members, as well as external directors. The station launched on 15 January 2007〔 On 22 July 2011 it was announced that the station was successful in the license extension application and will continue to broadcast for at least another 5 years until 2017. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「CSR 97.4FM」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
