student union venues in the country.
==== Sound Radio ====
Sound Radio, the Student Union's radio station, was set up on 10 June 2011, before launching as an official society in September. The station briefly was broadcast on 87.7FM, before becoming predominantly an internet station. Sound Radio rebranded as Venta Radio in 2013, but this was then reversed after a failed attempt at becoming a full-time community FM station.
Broadcasting from their studio inside the Student Union building, Sound Radio streams live on the Winchester Student Union website. Shows are broadcast on weekdays during term time, and occasionally on weekends. All shows are live and presented by members of the Student Union.
Sound Radio is an active member of the Student Radio Association (SRA), after joining in early 2017. The station regularly participates in the SRA Chart Show, which broadcasts every Sunday from 2 pm until 4 pm.
In 2018, Sound Radio won SRA Silver Award for Best Chart Show. They also won Most Improved Student Radio Station at the I Love Student Radio Awards 2019.
