Siren Radio, sometimes known as Siren and formerly as Siren FM, is a community radio station based at the University of Lincoln in the United Kingdom. It broadcasts to the city of Lincoln on 107.3 FM and at its website, Siren Online. History Launched in August 2007, Siren FM won its licence after a series of annual student RSLs (Restricted Service Licences) at the campus in Lincoln (UK) and previously at the university's Hull campus from 1996, when the institution was known as the University of Lincolnshire and Humberside. Siren moved to Lincoln in 1998 during the first stages of the gradual move of the university to the city. After operating its annual RSLs on FM each April or May it began to augment its output by broadcasting online for much of each academic year. The university was awarded its community radio licence by Ofcom in 2006, and began test transmissions for the new station at midday on 14 July 2007. The primary aim of the station is to serve the young people and communities of the greater Lincoln area, meaning that Siren is catering for a younger audience than its mainstream neighbours BBC Lincolnshire and Lincs FM. As a result, the station is more involved with diverse communities outside of the university since it began broadcasting programmes on 11 August 2007 under the leadership of Managing Editor Andrew David, a former BBC television and radio broadcaster. The station fitted a new antenna with a co-linear stacked dipole aerial on 20 August 2008 to improve reception in the north of the city. Its situation on a university campus offers opportunities for students to showcase their work and in some cases undertake assessments live on air with Journalism students producing weekly news and current affairs programmes. Catering for a younger audience than the mainstream stations heard in Lincoln, once a year schoolchildren are invited to produce and present their own programmes. There have also been projects aimed at communicating language and science education to a wider audience and funds granted to support the development of community journalism. The Station is home to a number of radio shows, including music shows, talk shows like the Midweek Drive hosted by Alex Lewczuk, and shows about film, like The Reel Show Hosted by Corey Allen & Murray Arthur. Siren has supported a number of organisations in the Lincoln area to facilitate young people's access
