Jennifer Waits

Interview with Jennifer Waits - DLARC In June of 2025, CJSF hosted Jennifer Waits from the Internet Archive's Digital Library of Amateur Radio & Communications (DLARC) for a station tour, and CJSF & Bitcouver's own Connor sat down with Je

In my interview with Connor, host of the CJSF show "Bitcouver," he shares his love for the Internet Archive and I talk specifically about the college radio collection within DLARC @dlarc.bsky.social. soundcloud.com/cjsfradio/in...

It was sweet of @cjsfradio.bsky.social to share my CJSF tour report about the campus and community radio station. I was also interviewed for the Bitcouver show, which was a ton of fun. We chatted about college radio history, @archive.org & our shared Silicon Valley youth! www.cjsf.ca/news/cjsf-fe...

That is hilarious (regarding the bin age)!

Radio Station Visit #194: CJSF-FM at Simon Fraser University - Radio Survivor Treasure hunt is the best way to describe the whirlwind afternoon that I spent at campus and community radio station CJSF 90.1 FM at Simon Fraser University (SFU) in Burnaby, British Columbia, Canada ...

It was amazing to see USPS mail tubs in a Canadian radio station, along with all sorts of obscure music, record label stickers of personal significance, and so much more. CJSF at Simon Fraser University is my latest college radio station tour report. www.radiosurvivor.com/2026/02/radi...

Radio Station Visit #193: CIVL-FM at University of the Fraser Valley - Radio Survivor A visit to campus and community radio station CIVL-FM at Uni

How many college radio stations are in Lifetime movies? Look closely during "Danger in the Dorm" (starring Bethenny Frankel of RHONY) & you might spot CIVL-FM. The University of the Fraser Valley station (in Abbotsford, BC, Canada) is my latest tour. www.radiosurvivor.com/2026/02/radi...

Thanks! This is a great piece!!

Big thanks to @chly.ca for hosting @ncraanrec.bsky.social and for the fun times in Nanaimo, BC, Canada! Here's my latest radio station tour report, including photos from a bonus trip to the CHLY transmitter site.

I went a little overboard researching early radio at Victoria College/UVic, but it's easy to get obsessed when you find so many intriguing tidbits. Thanks to CFUV for the visit!

Radio Station Visit #191: CFUV-FM at University of Victoria - Radio Survivor Underground is more than a metaphor for countless college radio stations which may play edgier music but are also housed beneath the earth. I’ve seen many basement digs in my travels, but none quite l...

Oh, Canada! So excited to launch my series of Canadian radio station tours. First stop is CFUV at University of Victoria. The campus & community station launched over FM 40 years ago, but there were a fascinating series of radio activities before its 1985 debut. www.radiosurvivor.com/2025/12/radi...

Radio Station Visit #190: WESU-FM at Wesleyan University - Radio Survivor It’s no surprise that the home of one of the oldest still-operating college radio stations, WESU 88.1 FM at Wesleyan University in Middletown, Connecticut, is full of typical student radio artifacts. ...

WESU at Wesleyan University is the final stop on my flurry of 2025 east coast college radio station tours. For those with a station tour bingo card: I spotted a Leo Blais sign AND a Steve Keene painting! www.radiosurvivor.com/2025/12/radi...

Radio Station Visit #189: KYRS-FM in Spokane - Radio Survivor “Get Loud in the Library” reads the headline on a flyer posted on a table in front of KYRS-FM, a community radio station located inside Spokane Central Library in Spokane, Washington. Promoting a seri...

A match made in heaven: library + radio station. My latest @radiosurvivor.bsky.social tour is of community radio station KYRS-FM, which is located in the Spokane Central Library. www.radiosurvivor.com/2025/12/radi...

Radio Station Visit #188: WYBCx at Yale University - Radio Survivor Around lunchtime on a warm day in September, WYBC General Manager Jules Morris and I comb through stacks of paperwork from the Yale University radio station’s files. Car horns, traffic noises, and the...

WYBC has an amazing history, with student radio initially launching at Yale with a carrier current station in 1941, before expanding to licensed FM & AM stations that reach the broader New Haven community. See my tour of student-run college radio station WYBCx. www.radiosurvivor.com/2025/12/radi...

Glad to finally get to see Williams College radio station WCFM. Thanks to Josh Picoult for already doing the archival work to trace the station's history. Student amateur radio broadcasts in the late 1930s led to the creation of carrier current station WMS in 1940 and then FM station WCFM in 1957.

Tuning Into History Decades after spinning records at WHRC, Jennifer Waits '89 returned to campus to preserve the history of Haverford's student-run station.

Thanks to @hclibraries.bsky.social for the support and for preserving college radio history! www.haverford.edu/marketing-an...

Podcast #346 - The Fight for College Radio at Cleveland State Station WCSB - Radio Survivor On October 3, 2025, while World College Radio Day was being celebrated all over the globe, Cleveland State University’s nearly 50-year old student-run college radio station WCSB 89.3 FM was shut down ...

I was happy to get Alison and Liam from @xcsbcleveland.bsky.social on @radiosurvivor.bsky.social to discuss the latest news about to the shutdown of Cleveland State's student-run college radio station WCSB. Sad footnote: WCSB used to air the Radio Survivor show. www.radiosurvivor.com/2025/11/podc...

Radio Station Visit #186: WRMC-FM at Middlebury College - Radio Survivor This year, College Radio Day began for me in the best possible way, with a visit to Middlebury College’s student-run radio station WRMC 91.1 FM in Middlebury, Vermont. From the second that I walked in...

I was so charmed by WRMC's colorful space. Lavender and pink walls lead to hallway containing a sweet mural. The personality-filled walls hinted at the treasures to come throughout my visit to the 75+ year old college radio station at Middlebury College. www.radiosurvivor.com/2025/11/radi...

Thank you so much!

And yes, it's so sad.... We will have more about @xcsbcleveland.bsky.social on @radiosurvivor.bsky.social this coming week.

Perhaps the first Bennington College radio station was launched in 1952 as Augusta "Gus" Bartlett's senior project in physics. She built an AM carrier current station which ultimately used her initials as its call letters in a nod to her important role in conceptualizing and creating the station.

Radio Station Visit #185: B-Rad at Bennington College - Radio Survivor As I was plotting out my fall vacation to New England, I imagined chilly days, falling leaves and colorful foliage. While hot weather was the norm for much of the trip, the first bit of crispness was ...

What a pleasure to unearth details about a 1950s Bennington College radio station while completing my latest radio station tour piece. B-Rad is the station today and it is the latest in a long line of fascinating student-built stations. www.radiosurvivor.com/2025/11/radi...

Radio Station Visit #184: WRBC-FM at Bates College - Radio Survivor One of my favorite things about tuning in to terrestrial radio is hearing unlikely juxtapositions as stations fade in and out of each other. With religious radio covering much of the left side of the ...

I loved visiting Bates College radio station WRBC. The station has it all: sticker-covered walls, thrifted furniture, oodles of history, and a signal that artfully bleeds into a religious station as you enter or leave town.

Radio Station Visit #183: KXDU at University of Denver - Radio Survivor In 2009, a University of Denver Magazine profile of the school’s student radio station bore the headline, “The nine lives of DU radio.” It’s a fitting description for the ebb and flow of radio activit...

I continue to be amazed by the cool projects undertaken by college radio participants. KXDU operates from a tiny space at University of Denver and does a ton to promote the vibrant music scene on campus. Read my tour on @radiosurvivor.bsky.social www.radiosurvivor.com/2025/11/radi...

Radio Station Visit #182: KRCX at Regis University - Radio Survivor A sentence on the KRCX website, “Regis University is home to Denver’s oldest college radio station,” piqued my interest and led to a journey not only through the radio station, but down many archival ...

I went down a serious rabbit hole to find the origins of the claim that Regis University is home to Denver's oldest college radio station KRCX. Learn more in my tour report on @radiosurvivor.bsky.social www.radiosurvivor.com/2025/10/radi...

Read my report on @radiosurvivor.bsky.social about the recent shutdown of college radio station WCSB at Cleveland State. Students and supporters are fighting this deal, which puts jazz programming on the formerly student-run station's FM channel. They share updates at @xcsbcleveland.bsky.social.

A "Big Free Library" shaped like the Internet Archive's logo, featuring two rows of books. The book prominently featured is "This is for Everyone" by Sir Tim Berners-Lee. It takes up the entire top row and the middle section of the bottom row.

Happy Internet Archive Day!

Radio Station Visit #181: WMPG-FM at University of Southern Maine - Radio Survivor One of the first things that I noticed when I arrived at WMPG-FM in Portland, Maine was a familiar-looking three-dimensional grey cardboard sign perched in the lobby window. Hidden behind a chair and ...

College/community radio is alive and well! My new tour report features @wmpg.org at University of Southern Maine. WMPG has been in the limelight thanks to a documentary making the festival circuit. The buzz within the station was also palpable during my visit.

Radio Station Visit #180: WZLY-FM at Wellesley College - Radio Survivor “Walk to the front between the two large turrets!” read the text message from WZLY historian Berit Raines, directing me to the entrance of Billings Hall, a gothic 1904 building that is home to the Wel...

I was psyched to finally get to visit Wellesley College radio station WZLY. What a history! It began as carrier current station WBS in 1942 and went FM in the 1970s. At 83 years old, it is most likely the longest running women's college radio station in the U.S. www.radiosurvivor.com/2025/10/radi...
