Early History
KUBE was founded in 1994 by a small group of students which included Dan Davies, Julian Holmes-Taylor, Conrad Jacobson and Nat Sones, who formed the core committee. Assisted by Cat Jenkins, Huw Micklewright, Vish Vishvanath, Adrian the Studio Manager, and with studio furniture built by Mat Stoker and Dave Hiley, KUBE was unique at the time in obtaining a short-term AM licence, as opposed to the short-term FM licences that were normally on offer - this greatly increased the range of the initial broadcast. The studios and office were in the far wing of the students' union.
Since its creation there have been some notable changes to KUBE. Of these the most important being that KUBE no longer broadcasts on AM radio and now only broadcasts via the internet. This change has allowed the station to reach far more people in that anyone with an internet connection can listen to KUBE anywhere in the world.
KUBE's studio has changed and evolved greatly since 2007, when it was given a dedicated studio and office space to the back of K2, when the original space used by the station was used to redevelop the toilet facilities of K2. Since that time, until the present day, the station has strived to continually invest in the best technology and equipment to ensure the station remains relevant.

“Very early in our children’s lives we will be forced to realize that the “perfect” untroubled life we’d like for them is just a fantasy. In daily living, tears and fights and doing things we don’t want to do are all part of our human ways of developing into adults.”
—Fred Rogers (20th century)
“The principle office of history I take to be this: to prevent virtuous actions from being forgotten, and that evil words and deeds should fear an infamous reputation with posterity.”
—Tacitus (c. 55–117)
