WPSC-FM (88.7 FM) is William Paterson University's non-commercial radio station.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=WPSC-FM Facility Record )〕 Licensed to Wayne, New Jersey, USA, the station serves the northern New Jersey and western New York City area. In 2011, WPSC was one of the top 25 stations nominated for the mtvU Woodie Award for Best College Radio Station. In 2012, WPSC Won Best College Station In The Nation (Enrollment over 10,000 students) at the 72nd IBS Awards in New York City, March 2012. In October 2011 and also scheduled for October 2012, WPSC will also serve as international HQ for College Radio Day. ==History== WPSC went on the air in 1867 through closed circuit on campus to several buildings and then also as a carrier current station (590 AM) as well. During the 1970s WPSC-AM continued to broadcast on campus, both over the air and piped into various buildings on campus while the quest for an FM frequency in the very crowded NY/NJ market began. For a time (1972–1974) WPSC also had an arrangement with WFMU to broadcast a weekly 2 hour pre-recorded program on WFMU. Between 1974 and 1978, programming expanded to include hourly newscasts, live sports events, campus and community affairs, celebrity interviews, radio plays, alternative comedy, live concerts and other events all created and produced in house. Programming hours increased from 12 hours a day 5 days a week to 18 and a half hours 7 days a week. Beginning in 1977, WPSC began broadcasting on UA Columbia Cablevision's Channel 3 bringing the station into tens of thousands of living rooms in Passaic, Morris, and Bergen Counties. Programming was mostly AOR/Progressive Rock but also included some Top 40, Oldies, and Soul/R&B/Disco shows. All programming reflected the choices of the DJs on the air during their shift and also included phoned in requests. During this time, WPSC was entirely student staffed and operated with all funding coming from WPC's Student Government Association and supplemented by a small revenue stream from commercial advertising. Faculty oversight and involvement was minimal to non existent. In December 1988, the station began broadcasting, as ''North Jersey's Independent Radio''.〔 〕 Throughout much of the 1990s WPSC almost exclusively played top 40, causing harsh criticism from students and the college radio community. As of 2007, it is a part of William Paterson University's Communication department and is staffed by students interested in careers in radio as well as alumni and community volunteers. Hobart Hall, the communication building on campus, houses the station. The signal tower is located in Pompton Lakes, NJ. It has since been relaunched as ''Brave New Radio'' WP 88.7 FM 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「WPSC-FM」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
