While visiting New York City in February, I was glad to be able to visit Hunter College’s college radio station WHCS on the morning of Saturday, February 20. The station’s President and General Manager Sarah Settineri escorted me to the station (security on college campuses in New York City is pretty intense) and filled me […]
In an attempt to see as many radio stations as possible while on the East Coast in February, I created a jam-packed schedule for myself, starting with a visit to Brooklyn College Radio station WBCR on Thursday, February 18. My flight arrived early at JFK, so I was optimistic about making my 5:15pm appointment at […]
I’ve visited college radio station KUSF at University of San Francisco (USF) many times over the years and have watched it morph from being a terrestrial college/community station at 90.3 FM to its present incarnation as a student-oriented online-only station. It was seven years ago when I first visited KUSF. At the time, it occupied […]
Radio Survivor readers are well aware of my passion for radio history and my appreciation for high school radio. For those reasons, it was a thrill to finally visit KBPS 1450 AM in Portland, Oregon a couple of months ago. Licensed to Portland Public Schools, the station is housed at Benson Polytechnic High School (thus […]
While attending the University of California Radio Network (UCRN) conference at Pomona College in Claremont, California last month, I was excited to once again revisit the Pomona College radio station KSPC-FM.

During my summer road trip to the Pacific Northwest, I visited a trio of radio stations (including college radio stations KWVA and KAOS), concluding with a journey to see community radio station XRAY.fm in Portland, Oregon. (more…)
Although I’d been to Portland, Oregon-based community radio station KBOO back in 2013 (when I did a crazy, jam-packed day of touring four radio stations), it was an unplanned, drop-in visit and didn’t warrant an official post. For that reason, I was glad to be able to schedule an proper visit when I was in […]
When I journeyed to Minneapolis for the College Broadcasters Inc. (CBI) convention last month, I was able to visit three college radio stations and Carleton College station KRLX-FM was on the top of my list. I’d been aware of the long history of radio at Carleton for quite some time and was eager to see […]
On Friday, October 23, I had a wonderful experience visiting University of Minnesota’s college radio station, Radio K (aka KUOM), in Minneapolis. I was in town for the College Broadcasters Inc. (CBI) convention and made a point to trek to a few stations. Radio K made my list not only because it is a college […]
