The sound of UEA

We are The University of East Anglia’s award-winning student radio station. For over 30 years we have broadcasted live from the UEA campus in Norwich, UK.  We’re part of the UEA’s Students’ Union but run for students, by students. We’re currently off air due to COVID-19. We’ll be uploading shows to Mixcloud, so click the ‘listen on Mixcloud’ link below to join us there. Stay safe.

An introduction to our Content

There’s so much more to Livewire than a radio station.

We’re part of the media collective, along with UEA’s student newspaper, Concrete, and UEA TV.
