A Walk With WSHU Down Public Radio Memory Lane

Here's a little story.

Fifty years ago, the Federal Communications Commission granted an FM license to a small, Roman Catholic commuter college. After getting little traction with its programming, a few intrepid staff turned it into a college radio station. 

Then the crazy notion to hire paid professional staff entered their heads. A few years later, an application was put in to become an NPR member station. 

Take a walk with us down public radio memory lane...and get a glimpse into our future.
