A Blast From the Past! As WJMU celebrates Giving Tuesday, we're happy to have been sent this throwback to 1971. That's the station's first Business Manager, John Tibbott Jr. ('72), overseeing the install of the original WJMU broadcast antenna on the roof of the Language Arts Building (now Shilling Hall). More than 50 years later, you can support WJMU by giving to our Antenna Rebuild campaign at https://secure.touchnet.net/C21048_ustores/web/product_detail.jsp?PRODUCTID=1509&SINGLESTORE=true.
Special thanks to Jack O'Riley ('72) for the snapshot, and cheers to 50 more years of WJMU Radio!

Happy World College Radio Day!

Today is a celebration of all things College Radio and everything you already love about the low end of the FM dial! If you’re a fan of Outkast, R.E.M., The Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Misfits, The B-52s, The Replacements or any independent music or media, you already know and love College Radio. Student-run radio stations and other college media outlets bring you a non-commercial perspective on the popular culture and local news that you crave.

As WJMU celebrates all things College Radio Day we are beyond thrilled to be BACK ON AIR! After a six-month hiatus as we recovered from storm damage we flipped the transmitter back on yesterday afternoon. We’re putting out about 200 watts as we warm up “old sparky”, but we’ll be pushing the signal little by little throughout the day. If you aren’t yet in range, remember you can always get the WJMU stream at millikin.edu/WJMU.

Let us know where you’re listening from!

This is what a bent antenna bay looks like. The GOOD NEWS is that we have a great crew of local and area engineers (as well as our awesome MU facilities crew) putting together logistics to get 89.5 WJMU The Quad BACK ON THE AIR!!! More details to come in the coming weeks, but we’re optimistic that the Decatur airwaves will be rocking again! …hopefully sometime before Labor Day!
