Bailrigg FM is a fully licensed independent radio station, funded by the Lancaster University Student Union. We broadcast 24 hours a day in FM stereo across the campus of Lancaster University on 87.7MHz from purpose-built studios in Fylde College. The mission of the station is to provide a news and entertainment service for all students on the University campus.

Bailrigg FM was founded in 1971 as University Radio Bailrigg (URB), ahead of the more general birth of commercial independent radio in the UK. To the best of our knowledge, URB (and thus Bailrigg FM) was only the second non-BBC station to ever gain a UK broadcast licence. Our extensive record library has been growing ever since the birth of the station and today features around 48,000 pieces, between 7", 12" and CD including many current pre-release items.

A significant part of our schedule takes the form of live shows from our studio complex. In other hours, we take a service from the Student Broadcast Network (SBN), including a number of syndicated shows including, for instance, the SBN Chart show. News bulletins are broadcast on the hour, every hour. These are usually sourced from Independent Radio News (IRN) although some are specially produced by SBN and feature news of particular interest to the national student population. Bailrigg FM is also a member of the Student Radio Association (SRA) who oversee a number of matters on behalf of the majority of UK student radio stations.
