What isn’t covered by a Student Radio Licence?

The Student Radio licence does not grant any rights in respect of the public performance of music tracks. You will need to contact our sister company, PPL PRS, to license the playing of music in public.

If your student radio station also broadcasts on the internet and/or an intranet that is accessible outside the premises, you will require a separate online radio licence.

If your station will be broadcasting on AM or FM, but only for a short period under an Ofcom Short-Term RSL, you will require a Short-Term Restricted Service Licence instead of a Student Radio Licence.
