I’ve got college radio station tours on my mind, as I’m in the midst of planning several visits as well as am attempting to catch up on my back log of tour write-ups (I’ve got two more in the queue). This week I posted two tours, including visits to Fullerton College radio station KBPK and […]
At last night’s NAB Marconi Radio Awards Dinner and Show, Seton Hall University’s college radio station WSOU was named the 2016 Non-Commercial Station of the Year. The metal-oriented college radio station was up against public radio station KPCW-FM (Park City, UT), high school radio station WSDP-FM at Salem High School (Canton, MI) and fellow college […]
I’m doing my best to record audio during my college radio station visits, as I think it adds another dimension to my station tour reports. On this week’s Radio Survivor Podcast (episode 63), I go behind the scenes at Colorado College station The SOCC and University of Colorado, Boulder station Radio 1190. I ended up […]
It’s hard to believe that his weekend marks the 15th anniversary of the September 11 terrorist attacks in the United States.

Although the new school year is rapidly approaching for many of us, things are generally quiet on the college radio front.

It didn’t take long for Hastings College to decide to sell the license for college radio station KFKX-FM. As we reported, the student radio station was shut down and went silent a month ago. At the time, the school was vague about its plans for the license. This week, however, the college submitted paperwork to […]
I’m catching up on my radio station tour reports and this week published a piece about my visit to college radio station Met Radio at Metropolitan State University of Denver. Be sure to catch next week’s Radio Survivor Podcast to learn even more about that field trip and hear audio from my tour. (more…)
I’ve been out and about, visiting radio stations this week while on my summer vacation. Unfortunately, summer is not the best time to try to connect with college radio stations, as quite a few of them are empty over the seasonal break.
