University Radio Station:
URN

University Radio Nottingham is one of the foremost student radio stations in the country and has won a third of the Radio One Student Awards ever! I won't bother to reel off their accomplished DJs, but suffice to say that URN has the world record for the longest non-stop radio broadcast (42 hours) beating the nearest competition (Simon Mayo) by 10 hours. Their DJs have co-presented with Zoe Ball and Steve Lamacq. Listeners will be entertained by a host of shows ranging from band interviews, to Ann Summers toy testing, to being given the opportunity to win prizes - in the past one listener won the privilege of being able to blow up an industrial chimney. URN recruits at Fresher's Fayre and broadcasts on 1602AM, and 97.5FM during two months of the year. Listen to them on URN.

 
Campus Publications:
Impact

This is the independent Nottingham Union paper, distributed free throughout Nottingham University and city. All your usual sections: News, Arts, Features, Sport, Science, Travel, Films and Music. Has published interviews with Mark Thomas and Steps, and benefits more than most from independence from the Union. Although it is improving it still falls shadow of its illustrious verbal equivalent - University Radion Nottingham. Free monthly in magazine format.

Grapevine - Is a Union publication giving updates on all club and society news, entertainments, welfare and other Union initiatives. The Union also publishes a handbook to give some idea about the way things work at Uni when you arrive. These are both free as well.
