Public File

Ofcom, the regulators of radio in the UK, require every radio station to publish and keep up-to-date a ‘Public File’ to let you know what the station is required to broadcast as part of its licence. The links below comprise the Siren Radio (Siren FM) Public File.

A hard copy of the public file is available and will be posted out upon request by anyone who requires a copy.

ABOUT SIREN RADIO

Siren Radio is the first community radio station based in the historic city of Lincoln, Lincolnshire, United Kingdom.

We are based at the University of Lincoln and have strong links with the various teaching departments across the campus. Many students present on Siren Radio for both coursework purposes, as well as to learn and refine their skills.

Siren Radio is fully funded by the University of Lincoln and therefore doesn’t run commercials to maintain our budget.

We are a fully licensed Ofcom community radio station with a target audience of 9-25 year-olds and staffed by volunteers. The majority of our volunteers are within our target age range also.

MUSIC

Siren Radio broadcasts a wide and ever growing range of music to our audience. The majority of our music is based around the current hits, but we also have specialist music programmes that focus on genres ranging from rock, pop, jazz and many more.

Our music database is managed by us all. If you have any comments about the music we play please get in touch.

We are licensed to broadcast music on FM, via our online audio stream, and through our listen again platform through PRS/PPL.
