UNF Radio
Innovation, amplified
Broadcasting from downtown Niagara Falls to the world.
What is UNF Radio?
UNF Radio is University of Niagara Falls Canada’s digital radio station powered by students in the Master of the Arts in Digital Media and Global Communications program.
Airing a variety of programming from students within the MA DMGC program, as well as the wider university community, UNF Radio is produced in downtown Niagara Falls with a global audience in mind.
Students are at the centre of every decision, from content strategy and show development to scheduling, promotion, and technical implementation.
Programming
UNF Radio operates on a 24-hour block schedule, Mondays through Fridays. The morning block is repeated twice throughout the day, and an early morning music block completes the schedule.
This is experiential learning at its most authentic, as every broadcast is a deliverable and every show is a portfolio piece.
