Cam FM (formerly known as Cambridge University Radio and later CUR1350) is a student-run radio station at the University of Cambridge and Anglia Ruskin University. The station broadcasts online and has an FM frequency of 97.2 MHz. The station opened studios at Anglia Ruskin University and Fitzwilliam College and started broadcasting in 2012 from these locations[1] after having spent its first 32 years located in Churchill College. Cam FM once held the world record for the longest team broadcast marathon, at 76 hours,[2] and following the significant technical overhaul as a result of the two new studios in 2012, provided the first-ever broadcast media coverage of the Oxford vs Cambridge Women's Boat Race from Dorney Lake, as well as live outside broadcasts from Newmarket Races and the Varsity Ski Trip.[1]
In March 2009, Cam FM was awarded an FM Community Licence by the UK Broadcasting Regulator Ofcom.[1] The station, then known as CUR1350, took on its current name and launched its FM service on 2 October 2010.[1] The station is a wholly owned subsidiary of Cambridge and Anglia Ruskin Student Radio Ltd, which is also the FM licence holder.
Cam FM disaffiliated from the Student Radio Association in 2015,[3] despite once winning Best Station at the Association's Student Radio Awards 2007 as CUR1350.[4] However, Cam FM rejoined the Student Radio Association in 2019.
Cam FM is managed by a committee of annually elected students and alumni of the University of Cambridge and Anglia Ruskin University.[5]
