[1] The station is a wholly owned subsidiary of Cambridge and Anglia Ruskin Student Radio Ltd, which is also the FM licence holder.

[1] Despite successfully applying for a number of short-term FM licences, CUR was unable to continuously broadcast to the university community, and so it struggled to achieve widespread popularity.

The explosive growth of the Internet, along with many colleges installing high-speed Ethernet connections in student rooms, prompted the station to launch a simultaneous webcast in 1998.

In 2006, CUR1350 launched a project to install a cable service to multiple sites across the University of Cambridge and Anglia Ruskin.

Dubbed "CURintheBAR", the station was distributed via the universities' LAN network to receiving units positioned in student bars and cafes, where it was relayed over loudspeakers.

These were: In 2007, CUR1350 was nominated for an all-time company record of nine Student Radio Awards, making it the most nominated station of 2007:[12] Of these, CUR1350 won Bronze in the Best Entertainment Programme category with Charles Lyons' "Weekend Breakfast", Gold for Katherine Godfrey in the Best Female Presenter category, and Gold in Station of the Year.

[16] Several of the station's members have subsequently achieved considerable success in the wider world of radio & television broadcasting.

Notable examples include: The station once held annual alumni days, on which former members were invited back to once again produce and present shows for listeners within the University.
