Student Radio for Gloucestershire
Tone Radio is a student-led online radio station that celebrates student voices, music, entertainment, creativity and local culture connected with the University of Gloucestershire community.
Our Story
Tone Radio was founded by students who believed that campus life deserved its own soundtrack. What started as a small group of music enthusiasts with a streaming setup has grown into a fully-fledged student radio station reaching thousands of listeners across Gloucestershire and beyond.
We broadcast a wide variety of programming — from breakfast shows packed with chart hits and campus news, to late-night deep cuts and local artist spotlights. Every show is produced by students, for students.
Beyond music, Tone Radio covers sport, student wellbeing, local community stories and events. We are a platform that gives students the skills, confidence and experience to pursue careers in media, broadcasting, journalism and music.
Tone Radio is associated with the University of Gloucestershire community and is run entirely by student volunteers who are passionate about radio, music and telling the stories of their generation.
