Our Canadian campus and community radio station tours continue with a visit to @chly.ca in Nanaimo, BC. CHLY-FM hosted the @ncraanrec.bsky.social conference in June, which brought together radio participants from Canada (& 1 from the U.S. and 1 from Australia). www.radiosurvivor.com/2025/12/radi...

Oh, Canada! So excited to launch my series of Canadian radio station tours. First stop is CFUV at University of Victoria. The campus & community station launched over FM 40 years ago, but there were a fascinating series of radio activities before its 1985 debut. www.radiosurvivor.com/2025/12/radi...

Our latest college radio station field trip report focuses on B-Rad, the cheerfully-named college radio station at Bennington College in Vermont. Since the history of student radio on campus was mysterious, @spinningindie.bsky.social researched and learned about B-Rad's fascinating predecessors.

I loved visiting Bates College radio station WRBC. The station has it all: sticker-covered walls, thrifted furniture, oodles of history, and a signal that artfully bleeds into a religious station as you enter or leave town.

I continue to be amazed by the cool projects undertaken by college radio participants. KXDU operates from a tiny space at University of Denver and does a ton to promote the vibrant music scene on campus. Read my tour on @radiosurvivor.bsky.social www.radiosurvivor.com/2025/11/radi...

I went down a serious rabbit hole to find the origins of the claim that Regis University is home to Denver's oldest college radio station KRCX. Learn more in my tour report on @radiosurvivor.bsky.social www.radiosurvivor.com/2025/10/radi...

College/community radio is alive and well! My new tour report features @wmpg.org at University of Southern Maine. WMPG has been in the limelight thanks to a documentary making the festival circuit. The buzz within the station was also palpable during my visit. www.radiosurvivor.com/2025/10/radi...

Another college radio tour is posted on @radiosurvivor.bsky.social. I was excited to return to Bowling Green, OH to check out my old haunts, including college radio station WBGU. I have fond memories of my time there in the 90s: going to shows, tallying playlists for CMJ & making lifelong friends.

What did I do on my summer vacation circa 2023? On a fun road trip, I popped in to see a few college radio stations, including WONY-FM at SUNY Oneonta. Thanks to @abottomley.bsky.social for being my tour guide. Article now posted on @radiosurvivor.bsky.social. www.radiosurvivor.com/2025/04/radi...
