Our student-run radio station, Etikett Radio, has been showcasing our communities' creative voices for over a decade. As you'll see in this article, the radio station reaches beyond our School of Music & Sound. Students from the School of Film & Visual Media and the School of Acting are all getting involved with running our grass-roots, community run station.

The station is constantly evolving with the students bringing it to life. In 2024, station oversight transitioned from radio manager Matt Migz to student coordinator Samaquias Lorta. Previously, while students played key roles within the station, the shows were largely managed by Matt. But last year, we shifted gears – placing even more creative and curatorial control directly in the hands of our students. Now, from thought-provoking film podcasts to kitchen dance-worthy DJ sets, Etikett is giving our community the airwaves to express their ideas on. Tune in to the broadcasts at etikett-radio.com.
