Kube Radio is the broadcasting arm of Keele University Students' Union, Keele University, Staffordshire, UK

[edit] Structure

It is run by students at the university who are a member of the Kube Radio society. Each member pays five pounds a year and the society is mainly made up of undergraduates. Members can then apply for a two hour show slot.
It is also run by a committee comprising of a station manager, marketing manager, music controller, programme controller, head of news, secretary/treasurer, social secretary, technical person and web person. Each year these are elected from the members by the members.
Meetings are held each week at 1:30pm on a Friday in 'K2' (part of the Keele University Students' Union building).
In March 2007 it held a 24 hour radio marathon where DJs Matt Hallworth and Mark Welch broadcast for 24 hours in aid of Comic Relief. With help from other KUBE shows, guests and committee the station raised over £1000
