Vers Libre is an independent community internet radio station based in Bergen, Norway. Established in 2018, the station was created to foster creativity and provide a platform for local musicians, DJs, and artists.

Vers Libre is known for its eclectic programming, which spans a wide range of genres, including electronic music, jazz, and world music. As a volunteer-run, non-profit organisation, the station emphasizes community involvement and cultural exchange.

Operating exclusively as an internet radio station, Vers Libre broadcasts its content online, allowing listeners to tune in from anywhere via its official website. The station has become a hub for the local creative community while reaching a global audience with its diverse programming.

Origins

Vers Libre is based on the free-form programming model in which the host of a radio show is given wide or total control over what music to play, regardless of music genre or commercial interests.

The name Vers Libre derives from a poetry term meaning free-verse, which dispels with traditional poetic structure, does not use a prescribed or regular meter or rhyme and tends to follow the rhythm of natural or irregular speech.

Community radio in Norway remains a popular community media model despite the digitalization of radio in 2017, which signaled an end to large-scale FM broadcasting.
