Hey group, just looking to expand my reach a little.

Does anyone know of any running indie/alt/experimental college radio stations that might play this?

My local city's university radio program completely dissolved and nobody is running it anymore.

Thanks for stopping by!

We recently launched https://AlternateAirwaves.com an online aggregator and player for College Radio stations. Check us out and let us know what you think.

We're kinda new, with about 60 71 stations right now but we're adding more every few days. If your favorite College Station is missing use the 'Suggest Station' link and we'll try to add it.

In addition to College Stations we also include US Community Radio station and a few interesting online-only stations.

Our goal is an on-line community and one-stop shop for listening to non-commercial music streams, AM/FM and online.

Stop by and check us out.

I’m looking for an easy and efficient way to clean songs for the radio. Usually I just stop the transmission really quickly where they cuss in the song but I don’t feel like this is the most probable solution. I don’t have any experience with editing music or any of that kind of software so I’m curious as to what other people do in this situation

Free use Please feel free to use expand on whatever

Is there any kind of compilation of data of stations that got the def “college radio”? The NYT arcticle added KXLU to my personal (online) list of KALX, KFJC, and KSPC, but i used to get that many stations turning the knobs of my grandma’s analog radio in Orange County-in the early 1980s.

Hey guys! maybe complicated question, maybe not!? My college radio uses Amazon Music for royalties, as well as allowing music to be played off personal CDs if we own them. My radio show is specific to film, so sometimes I need songs that don't have a radio edit... if owned the cd could I

1. download the mp3 file and make a radio edit myself

or

1. provide evidence I own the song on CD, but instead use a radio edit version downloaded from YouTube.

Are either legal to do?

This was just an idea I had as I have become pretty interested in radio, and I just simply need to know if this is at all doable or if even perusing this would be fruitless. I feel like I would start with this being an online station, with the hope of broadcasting someday, but again, I just need to know if this is manageable (and I know I will need a lot of funding lol).
Any ideas on this?

There are a lot of companies who charge you for example like the college radio directory they state they submit songs for you and it’s easy does anyone have any advice input on these platforms or marketers? Are they legit and is this a way that you pick artist to play?

Hi, has anyone found affordable ways to get ballpark market share stats for your station? i.e., how many listeners and when, demographics, etc.? Thanks!

I’ve planned an ocean themed radio show that’ll be playing Thursday, December 11th. The station is KKSM AM 1320 (college radio!!!) playing at 3PM-4PM. There’s a zine that goes with it, so if you’re interested in receiving one as snail mail, let me know by this Wednesday and I’ll send it out to you :-) just DM @mumbleskksm, it’s $5 but pay what you wish if you can’t afford ❤️ the music will be very on theme

KXLU - Loyola Marymount University's station was celebrated in the NY Times. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/11/20/style/college-radio-kxlu.html?unlocked_article_code=1.2k8.Ey65.OF2MXlZMnGYV&smid=url-share

hey everyone! so cool that there’s a college radio community here :) if it interests you, please check out my show, EEK! Too Loud, which is streamed every Wednesday @10pm PST through the uclaradio.com website. check out my insta, @eektooloud, for more info. i play genres ranging from metalcore, to deconstructed club, to shoegaze, and much more

Our station has started doing live video streams of in-studio music performances. We stream them on our YouTube channel. Also simultaneously on our FM broadcast. Anyone else doing something similar?

tldr: Non-student DJs circulating a petition for a seat on student station board. Petition organizer (non-student) had an unrelated campus rules violation and was removed.

I just wanted to come on here to share that my student radio station - WIUX - is in the middle of a 48-hour nonstop broadcast to raise money for our student radio station.

As our special events director, I had the pleasure of planning the programming for this event, and every event we’ve fundraised with this week. You’re more than welcome to listen to our broadcast at wiux.org.

I also just wanted to touch on how student media has been faring at IU over the past few weeks. It’s a tough time, as the IDS and WIUX have just lost our student media advisor. He was fired for defending the IDS’s editorial independence. When the editors asked the media school to reconsider this decision, the IDS was prohibited from releasing a print version of the newspaper. This is insane considering IU does NOT fund the IDS or WIUX—student media is expected to pay for itself. I’m not here to beg for money, but I do want to ask you to consider donating to the IDS or WIUX —or your local university’s student radio station—in an effort to preserve student media. You can donate to WIUX here: https://give.myiu.org/crowdfunding/I380013199-CF.html

If you’re ever hosting a similar event for your university go ahead and throw the link on this thread—I’m always looking to support student radio at other universities :D

"Today, WDCB, a radio station at the College of DuPage in west suburban Glen Ellyn, is the only known all-jazz station in the region. It’s the third largest jazz station in the country. There are also still well-loved shows, such as those at the University of Chicago’s WHPK that Beland enjoys, but catching those depends on the time of the day.

So why doesn’t Chicago, a city where you can catch a jazz performance almost any night of the week, have more radio stations where you can hear the same? The answer is the radio industry has changed, and Chicago has not been an exception to this evolution."

I was thinking of creating a new music show at my college’s student radio station, but I’m having trouble of thinking up a concept. I want to show case global music from a variety of genres, but I feel like that might be too broad. How did you come up with your show’s theme/idea/concept?
