WMFO (91.5 FM) is a freeform radio station licensed to Medford, Massachusetts. The station is owned by Tufts University and is run by students and community members.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=WMFO Facility Record )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=WMFO Station Information Profile )〕 WMFO is funded by the Tufts Student Activities Fee as allocated by the TCU Senate and through community donations. WMFO streams worldwide from wmfo.org as well as broadcast locally on FM radio at 91.5 FM. ==History== Prior to the licensing of WMFO, the station was home to the AM radio station WTUR. In the late 1960s Tufts University students ran a wire from WTUR's 20-watt transmitter to the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority Commuter railroad tracks that run directly behind the studio building. The signal could be heard clearly as far as Quincy, Massachusetts 15 miles to the south, and as far north as Nashua, New Hampshire, more than 30 miles beyond the station's permitted broadcasting limits. This stunt drew the attention of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), which promptly shut the station down. On April 2, 1977, Curtis Hall, the building that WMFO resides in, had a major fire. The station was knocked off the air for a short time, but was up and running within a few hours when student DJs plugged a portable broadcasting board directly into the station's transmitter. In March 2009, the station left the airwaves for a week, replacing its aging analog equipment with an all-digital system including a Rivendell Radio Automation server that houses much of the station's rock and pop music collections in a lossless format. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「WMFO」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
