I’ve been thinking about LPFM and college radio a lot this week. Three more colleges and universities were granted construction permits for new LPFM stations. Paul wrote about plans for stations at the Marshall University Graduate College (South Charleston, WV) and at University of Virginia, Charlottesville in his LPFM feature yesterday.

My final radio station visit while in the Philadelphia-area this April was to see the station where it all began for me, WHRC at Haverford College.

The morning and afternoon were a whirlwind of visits to see stations at Villanova University, Swarthmore College, Haverford […]

Licenses for WKTZ-FM and WJAX-AM in Jacksonville, Florida were sold to EMF for the purchase price of $3,375,000.

Happy College Radio Day! Although I celebrate college radio on a daily basis already, this past week has been particularly immersive.
