What's your 'College Stations' list?
« on: August 08, 2024, 1718 UTC »
With the recent buzz of the movie documentary 35000 Watts, www.35000watts.com , that leads the question out there to y'all. What college stations did you either visit, listen to, was on-air with, or even provided engineering to? With me??? Still thinking about it, my list keeps getting longer, but been to the studios of:

WJSL, (Now WXXY.), WNTE, WALF, WITR, WECW,

Station that I have not been in the studio, but just outside, or at the TX site:

WETD, WGCC, WGSU, WBSU, (That includes the AM Carrier-Current trainer station.), KSUA, (Got to also see their parade float in 7/1985.), WRUR, WBNY, WSBU, WVCR, WEOS, WMUL, WWVU, WSPN, WVBR,

Other stations that I've listened to, but never been to:

WICB, WDWN, WFSE, WCEB, WCMO, WKPS, WSRU, WQSU, WERG, WVWC,

The only station to provide engineering to, thus far:

WNTE


Am I forgetting some? I know that I am. I'll never beat Jennifer Waits's list. So, how many do you know on this list? https://www.35000watts.com/college-radio-database/

While I'm at it, LPFM stations that I've been to:

WTSQ-LP, WSVQ-LP

Now, how many pirate stations have I been to? Um... Let's leave that one for another subject.

Incomplete list? 8/10/2024: Forgot about listening to Toronto's 89.5FM, CIUT,   https://ciut.fm/  heard driving down Rt 390S, to as far as Wayland, NY. That was in the late 1990's, and they just played a long set of Trance tunage then. Thus far, the only Canadian college station that I remember hearing. Probably, couldn't do that today, with all these newer FM translators on-air.

Recently, a co-worker quizzed me on, "What would happen if you were to apply reverse polarity to the Energizer Bunny?". Having no idea, I asked, "What would happen?". The answer is he'd keep coming and coming and coming...

My favorite listens over the years have been, still listening to many of these (FM unless noted):
WESU Wesleyan University (CT)
WHUS Univ. of Connecticut
WRUV Univ. of Vermont
WKSU Kent State, Ohio
WQUN (AM-er, now OTA) Quinnipiac University (CT)
WYBC-FM (in earlier years) Yale University
WBUR Boston University
WWUH Univ. of Hartford, best selection of folk to this date
WFUV Fordham Univ (NY) - Outstanding music - many alumni are well known in music and sports broadcasting

Sealord - Walked through Flagler College in March for the first time, a very impressive and beautiful campus to say the least.  I consider myself to be quite knowledgeable on colleges, had not heard of it before this year.

It is & the history's cool too - I lived in Vilano for few years and really enjoyed that whole historic area!
