Our third annual College Radio Week will focus on selected stations that made the Princeton Review's 20 "Most Popular" college radio stations list. We begin with DePauw University's WGRE.

Radio at Depauw University dates back to 1928 but it wasn't until 1949 that WGRE became the first educational FM station in Indiana. They are the largest student organization at the school with over 200 volunteers on staff and play mostly Alternative music. WGRE is licensed to (W)GREencastle, Indiana and was #2 on the Princeton Review list.

Mystery Stickers #21 & 22

K-Love is a giant Contemporary Christian radio network heard in 45 states on over 440 stations and translators. This 1998 sticker could easily be from more than one of their affiliates. In fact, a quick Google search found a K-Love station at 90.7 in Dyersburg, Tennessee (WZKV) and a translator at 90.7 in Golden Valley, Minnesota (K214DF.) Chances are we'll never know exactly which station this sticker is from.

Uh-oh.

While filing away the 90.7 decal I found another K-Love mystery sticker for 104.7 FM.

WVRB

WVRB (W Vernon R Baldwin--the station's original owner) was a Christian music station licensed to Wilmore, Kentucky. WVRB is currently part of the massive K-Love Radio Network consisting of over 440 stations and translators across the country.

WCRH

WCRH is a Religious station from Williamsport, Maryland.

WSOU

WSOU is the student-run, campus radio station for Seton Hall University in South Orange, New Jersey. Their format includes Hardcore, Heavy Metal, Punk and other sub-genres of Modern Active Rock. WSOU went on the air in 1948, first started playing Rock music in 1969, and have carried the Hard Rock format since 1986. Seton Hall is a private Roman Catholic university so, in an interesting bit of counterprogramming (and to help wash away all that devil music) WSOU's HD2 format is all-Catholic including Daily Mass and blocks of Christian Rock.

KUFX

98.5 "K-FOX" is a Classic Rock station licensed to San Jose, California. KUFX began at 94.5 FM before moving to 104.9 and finally landing at 98.5 FM. They also now simulcast on KUZX 102.1 FM for better coverage in San Francisco. Musician Greg Kihn is currently doing mornings at K-FOX.
