Radio AF - Lunds studentradio

Radio AF in Lund, Sweden, is the largest student radio station in Scandinavia, and the

second largest in Europe.
Radio AF started broadcasting November 1, 1982. It broadcasts news aimed at the
students at Lund University, and a wide variety of music. Radio AF was the start of the
career of many Swedish radio personalities and comedians. The current station
manager is Vincent Wilhelmsson. The station used to broadcast analog radio in the
Lund area on 99.1 MHz and 91.1 MHz, but has since June 2014 moved on to round-
the-clock broadcasting and podcasting via the official website.

About[edit]
Radio AF is run by volunteering students and broadcasts 24/7. The programming varies
from music, news, comedy, talkshows and entertainment.

History[edit]
The city of Lund was given permission to start community radio broadcasting in 1982
and began broadcasts November 1, the same year. Among the first that went on air was
Lunds Studentkår, the student body of Lund, and Akademiska Föreningen, the
academic society, both combined under the name Radio LSAF. They broadcast more
than eight hours a week, mainly music and student information. After a project under the
name Radio P4 in the summer of 1984 along with Radio TLTH and Radio Concorde, the
three stations joined under the name Radio AF.
One of the objectives of the project was to influence public opinion in the direction of a
less restricted and more free radio climate, which led to 40,000 signatures in support of
commercial advertisements on the newly started Radio P4.
Radio AF/P4 then continued throughout the eighties, calling themselves Radio P4 in the
summer, with a more youthful profile, and Radio AF during the semesters, with focus on
student information. Many of Sweden's biggest radio personalities originate from this
time.
In June 1991, Radio AF moved to its current premises in the AF-building, centrally
located in Lund, and began broadcasting on frequency 99.1 MHz.[1] In 2014 the station
aimed for an all digital approach to the content provided, and designed a new official
site to further the programming of the channel digitally.
