WGHR
WGHR was the online radio station at Southern Polytechnic State University in Marietta, Georgia. They began as a low-power, carrier-current AM station in the late 1960s and eventually moved to FM by the early 1980s. Terrestrial broadcasts ceased around 2003 and they moved to online only. SPSU merged with Kennesaw State University in 2015. KSU's student-run, online station is known as Owl Radio.
WBUZ
1570 AM WBUZ was on the air in Fredonia, New York from 1957 until 1991. Their FCC license renewal problems began in 1981 with the owner's alleged blatant discrimination against an African-American woman who applied to work as a secretary as well as his refusal to grant equal time to opposing views surrounding local police and public housing. A few years later the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers revoked WBUZ's license to play songs by ASCAP artists due to the owner's defaulting on royalty payments. Listeners also complained that contests were held but prizes never awarded or were kept by the owner.

KURE
88.5 FM KURE is a student-run radio station broadcasting from Iowa State University in Ames, IA. They went on the air in 1949 as KMRA and went through a host of other call letters including KMRI, KISU, KPGY and KUSR before becoming KURE in the mid-1990s. It's unclear if the station was named for the band of college radio faves with (almost) the same name or if they had nothing to do with it.
KURE has an event called Kaleidoquiz which they've held every year since 1967. KQ is a 26 hour marathon trivia contest which now encompasses scavenger hunts, murder mysteries, physical puzzles, photo/video challenges and prize giveaways all taking place while a new question is asked every 6 minutes. Teams are scattered around campus listening to KURE for trivia questions and instructions.
