Introduction
Source Radio is a radio station operating from Coventry, England.
Initially called Phoenix Student Radio, then Source FM, Source Radio was set up in conjunction with the Coventry University Students Union by a team of students back in 2000. All backgrounds of the university play a part in the broadcasts. A full studio set up within the Priory Street Students Union kitted out with the state of the art technology enables Source Radio to go live to the University and to the City of Coventry during the one-month RSLs1. A new jingle package, more music, a brand new website and a huge broadcasting team spanning all genres and backgrounds, meant the station had something for everyone - Source Radio hit the headlines locally during the broadcast.
