Studio Brussel









Studio Brussel began in 1983 as a regional station based in Brussels, Belgium that broadcast only during rush hour.  They eventually expanded their on-air hours and could be heard throughout Flanders (the Dutch speaking, northern part of Belgium.)  Studio Brussel is operated by the Flemish Radio and Television broadcasting organization known as VRT.  They are heard on about seven different FM frequencies as well as Digital Audio Broadcasting and mostly plays pop/rock music.  Listening live while making this post I heard Blink-182, Chappell Roan, Fleetwood Mac and Jamie Lidell.

KDNZ

KDNZ was a student-run radio station at the University of San Francisco in San Francisco, California.  This article says that they were founded in 1963 as an AM station.  By the late 1990s they were broadcasting concurrently on 880 AM, 88.1 FM, local cable TV channel 3 and online.  The demise of KDNZ was largely due to a lack of student involvement.  Another factor could be that there weren't enough people on campus to staff both KDNZ and the school's other station, the more popular KUSF.
