According to their website, Wesleyan University's WESU is the second oldest college radio station in the country. The now 6,000-watt station began in 1939 as a modest carrier current outlet and switched to FM in 1961. Prior to 2004, WESU was entirely Freeform with students and community
volunteers having complete freedom to program what they wanted. Their
daytime offerings now consist of syndicated public radio shows from
National Public Radio, Public Radio International and the Pacifica Radio
Network with Freeform shows on nights and weekends. This programming
decision was initiated by the president of Wesleyan
University who, not coincidentally, was a former president of NPR. WESU is licensed to Middletown, Connecticut.
