WZRD (88.3 FM) is the student-run radio station at Northeastern Illinois University, Chicago, Illinois, US, founded in 1974. The station serves the Chicago area. The station is licensed by the FCC to Northeastern Illinois University.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=WZRD Facility Record )〕 WZRD broadcasts on a Freeform radio format. ==Programming== Unlike other formats, WZRD's freeform does not have block programming of particular genres, or styles of radio such as a news slot, a rock slot, or talk radio show (save Federal Communications Commission (FCC) regulations). Instead it compels the DJs to mix all of these genres together in a creative, unique, and often challenging way. It would not be unheard of to hear Tibetan Buddhist chants, early 1980s punk rock, eclectic mixes, a spoken word piece and public service announcements in succession.
Furthermore, one WZRD's missions is to provide a voice to the voiceless, trying to present media that cannot be heard elsewhere, whether it be because it is controversial, unpopular, or local. WZRD's programming is designed to be a reflection of the community, and serve its needs that are not met else where by the homogenized and corporate landscape of radio. Additionally, DJss remain anonymous, Djing affectionately under the title of Wizards. In this way, WZRD's programming is meant to be one long and colorful spectrum of humanity that each Wizard will man for his designated time slot with a deemphasis on ego. *WZRD accepts no outside funding. Its operating budget is provided in full by Northeastern Illinois University. *The station is also an affiliate of the Pacifica radio network. It broadcasts Democracy Now! and Free Speech Radio News. 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「WZRD (FM)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
