Shock Radio is Manchester’s biggest student radio station. Broadcasting live from our studios in University House, there is something for everyone at Shock! Whether you want to present your own radio show, contribute to our weekly news and sports show, or present occasionally on our specialist ‘Anthems’ shows, there is something for you!
Shock won an impressive 6 awards at last year’s Student Radio Awards, before bagging a further 10 awards at this year’s Amplify Awards. We were also crowned world station of the year at the 2025 International Student Broadcasting Championships.
If radio isn’t really your thing, don’t worry! We often need people to write articles for our news and sports website pages, and create content for social media! We also have Shock TV, the home of visual programming and events coverage. There are loads of opportunities to get involved here. Shock TV has grown since it was established in 2023, winning Bronze for ‘Broadcaster of the Year’ at the 2026 National Student Television Awards!
