~~This page is a tribute to the various sustainer systems URY has had over the years.~~

~~Before URY had its own sustainer, it broadcast a feed from other radio stations. The [[80s Technical Manual]] makes reference to Viking FM being the radio station in this role in 1988.~~

~~It is currently not known to this wiki what URY did back in its foundation years (BBC feed? Dead air? Caroline!?), as commercial independent radio wasn't exactly around back then.~~

[http://web.archive.org/web/19991116112903/http://ury.york.ac.uk/schedule/t-sbn.htm Back in the 90s] the sustainer service came from the ''Student Broadcast Network'' who broadcast news, music and programming on a national basis for student radio:

While we're not broadcasting our own programmes, we relay the Student Broadcast Network. Broadcasting live via satellite, SBN is a service exclusively for student radio stations in the UK. During the day it provides stations with a non-stop mix of student orientated music with news on the hour every hour. Throughout the night there's a line-up of student programmes, combining live shows from their studios in London and programmes provided by student radio stations around the country.
