Every year, the whole University gears up for another intake of students. As one lot of third years pile out clutching bits of paper, another eager bunch of first years join BCU and the fun starts all over again!

Freshers ‘11 has been in Scratch pipeline for months and we’ve had a revamp to end all revamps to make sure we’re 100% ready to make it an event to remember!  When we moved studios 12 months ago, the furniture in our new home was only meant to be temporary and our engineers have spent the Summer ripping our old studio out and replacing it with brand new equipment.

All the gadgets and technology inside makes us comparable to any other station out there and truly cements us as ‘Birmingham’s Favourite Student Station’. We’ve got a brand new sound and a brand new image to move into the new academic year and we really are your one stop shop for EVERYTHING from daytime chart music through to our evening and weekend specialist output.

Whether you love Olly Murs or Wretch 32, or if you’re more a fan of Reggae, Dub Step or Jazz - there’s a home for you on Scratch. We’ll keep you up to date on student life, and if you have a topic you want to talk about then let us know!

Keep your eyes peeled for a couple of amazing competitions over Freshers too. With tickets to all the big events to give away, you’d be silly not to keep listening if you can’t get some last minute!

All in all, Scratch is the place to keep your ears glued to for your time at BCU. Have a brilliant 3 years here and we hope to talk to you soon!
