Based on surveys conducted at around 380 institutions, it reflects a microcosm (less than 10%) of the universe of more than 4,000 U.S. colleges and universities and an even smaller slice of the college radio scene. It&#8217;s still an interesting list, with some fantastic and notable stations represented. There are also a few seriously under-the-radar outlets that don&#8217;t currently have functioning websites or streams. Despite the shortcomings of lists such as these, they do spark debate and pique interest in college radio.<\/p>\n<h2>More College Radio News<\/h2>\n<h3>Station Sales<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsobserver.com\/news\/local\/article216249675.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Shaw&#8217;s Beloved WSHA-FM is now K-Love<\/a> (News &amp; Observer)<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.allaccess.com\/net-news\/archive\/story\/178874\/western-north-carolina-noncomm-sold-kcee-tucson-s-\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Western Carolina University to Sell License for WWCU<\/a> (AllAccess)<\/p>\n<h3>College Purchases Another Station<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.yourerie.com\/news\/local-news\/lake-erie-college-of-osteopathic-medicine-agrees-to-acquire-sarasota-radio-station-wsrq-fm-1069\/1354937455\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine Agrees to Acquire Sarasota Radio Station WSRQ-FM<\/a> (YourErie.com)<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.heraldtribune.com\/news\/20180808\/lecom-buys-sarasota-radio-station-wsrq\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">LECOM Buys Sarasota Radio Station WSRQ<\/a> (Sarasota Herald-Tribune)<\/p>\n<h3>Programming<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nevadacurrent.com\/2018\/08\/07\/failed-bank-robber-programming-unlv-radio-station\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Failed Bank Robber Programming UNLV Station<\/a> (Nevada Current)<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/augustafreepress.com\/kids-go-on-the-air-thanks-to-wtju\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kids go on the Air: Thanks to WTJU<\/a> (Augusta Free Press)<\/p>\n<h3>Alums<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/news.uga.edu\/uga-alumna-radio-hall-fame-finds-journalism-calling\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Hall of Fame Broadcaster, Alumna Finds Journalism a &#8216;Calling&#8217;<\/a> (UGA Today)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The annual Princeton Review &#8220;Best College Radio Station&#8221; list has me in full-on analysis mode this week, as I scrutinize the list of 20 schools with &#8220;popular&#8221; radio stations.
