UTCR.Live is the school radio station of UTC Reading.[1] It was founded on 15 January 2020. It has been running 24/7 since then. It was created by three students at the school; Benji, Reilly & Oli.[2] It remains fully independent of UTC Reading. This allows for objective opinions regarding the college.

Shows

UTCR.Live has a mix of regular content and one off episodes.[3]

Recurring Shows
