About Nerve / Made by students
A station with something to say.
Live from
Bournemouth.
Your station. Your sound.
Not just on air.
In it together.
The best radio feels like good company. We make room for different tastes, fresh perspectives and the enthusiasm of people sharing something they love.
Listen live, find a show that feels like you, or come and help make the next one. You don't need to have it all figured out before you start.
Find your place at Nerve.
There are plenty of ways to make a little noise. Which one sounds like you?
Behind the mic
Bring your own show idea, co-present with a friend, or discover what you love talking about. Music, culture, conversation — make it yours.
