College Radio Stations

I remember college radio. Back when I went to the University of Missouri there was a kind of mystique about the campus radio station. That was mostly forged by the student DJs who finally had a forum to play the Germs and Heino back-to-back, and nobody could tell them not to! In reality the place was a dump in the basement of a crummy dorm. But I've seen some modern student radio stations, like the one down at Columbia College here in Chicago, and they're first-rate. Today we've got some student radio stations that I'm sure are first-rate. First up is WGTB at Georgetown in Washington, D.C. Their signal only goes out over campus cable, but wouldn't you know it, they're 21st-century at WGTB and you can stream them on the web! They've also got a sports channel for you Hoyas fans. Second is WTSC The Source 91.1 FM at Clarkson University in Potsdam, New York.

WTSC 91.1FM The Source is a fully student-run radio station based out of Clarkson University. We are not only commercial-free, but we are free-format. This means you can find all types of shows ranging through many genres: sports talk to hip-hop to classic rock to indie. WTSC is run by a dedicated group of students which make up our executive board.

You can also stream them on the web. Last we have WIUX 99.1 FM in Bloomington, Indiana, from Indiana University. It's advertised as "pure student radio" because the entire board of directors, on-air staff, and support committees consist entirely of student volunteers. Interestingly, they also provide mobile DJ services for parties. I dunno, it sounds to me like a way for DJs to get invited to more parties, but, y'know, knock yourselves out. And of course you can stream them on the web.
