Radio Campus Bordeaux: live radio from Bordeaux

Hooold...

Dusting off the needle…

Radio Campus Bordeaux

Students, and everyone else.

Eighty volunteers, ninety shows, one campus signal.

Licensed in 1992 and run from the university campus at Pessac, it puts 88.1 across the Gironde with eighty-odd volunteers — students, people with day jobs, retirees — filling some ninety different slots a week, and it has never carried an advertising break. The same staff run radio workshops inside both Bordeaux universities, in local secondary schools and for the city's children's council; the sound pieces students make there go out on air during the student festivals each April.

Mornings belong to chroniques and magazines; come the evening the grid is handed over to music, an hour at a time. 33 Tours works through vinyl, C'est Si Sample follows a sample to its source, No Future takes the punk, Semillas Latinas and Luso-Fónix the Latin and lusophone end, Au Pays Des Raves and Electrønik the techno. Live Campus closes each night.
