Campus Radio

Campus radio in the United States refers to radio stations that are typically affiliated with colleges or universities and are often run by students, faculty, or a mix of both. These stations serve as a platform for education, training, and community engagement, often featuring diverse and experimental content not commonly found on commercial radio. Many campus radio stations operate as non-commercial entities and may be licensed by the FCC as low-power FM (LPFM) or full-power stations. They often play a significant role in promoting independent music and providing a voice for underrepresented groups. Examples include stations like KEXP (affiliated with the University of Washington) and WERS (Emerson College).
