PRESS RELEASE

 

 

The LION 90.7 fm turns 10 years old!  Monday October 31st marks ten years to the day that the new student radio station, initially named only after its Call Letters - WKPS, went on the air in 1995.  Starting out in the James building on Burrowes Street, WKPS-fm began broadcasting under the oversight of WPSU 91.5 fm, also then located in James. 

 

Since then many students and alumni volunteers have worked hard to keep WKPS on the air serving the student and local community with all-original, alternative, and cultural programming—including all forms of great music heard no where else along with forums addressing student and local issues.  In 2000 the station was renamed The LION 90.7 fm and in 2003 was relocated into the center of student life in the HUB.  More than just a student station, The LION’s listenership has grown immensely and is loved by many students, alumni, faculty, and townspeople.  

 

We invite everyone to celebrate the 10th birthday of The LION 90.7 fm all day on Monday October 31st.  Listen for contests, prizes, and giveaways, and stop in to our studio in room 9 HUB for our open house and be on the radio!  For more information, go to: www.lion-radio.org (info coming soon)
