In 1998, the University of Siena started a college radio project. After a period of testing, Facoltà di Frequenza (FdF) was launched in September 2000. It was the first Italian university radio and broadcasting both on FM (99,4 Mhz) and on web streaming.

This is our history as recorded on the Official Site, but in fact there have been three different organizations broadcasting on the 99,4 frequency in the last ten years, each calling themselves Facoltà di Frequenza

The first one was "a communication laboratory made by the university commu-nity for the community itself. A radio that talks about the University of Siena not neglecting the rest of the world".

The second FdF emancipated itself from the constrains of campus radio, choos-ing information and culture as the key features of its broadcasting soul.

In April 2006, FdF began to loose support of the academic institution. Three dif-ferent, highly interrelated, events mark this withdrawal. The perpetual boycott from the "upper floors", the absence of a staff credited by the University and the shift into an "Indie Music Oriented" channel have all been significant steps taken by the university to shut down the station.

The 1st of July this last step comes into an end. The existence of a fourth step in the history of Facoltà di Frequenza, the first Italian college radio, is completely up to us and, if you want to help us, to you.

Actually, there's no way to say goodbye
