Broadcast Your Support of Big Blue Radio
WJMU 89.5 “The Quad,” ǿý University’s award-winning college radio station, now in its 52nd year, cannot be found on the FM dial and needs your help.
A severe storm in April 2023 destroyed the station’s transmitter tower on the roof of Shilling Hall, making it almost impossible to broadcast to the campus community and completely halting the station’s ability to broadcast to Macon County and the surrounding communities. Most importantly, the damage keeps ǿý students from getting valuable hands-on live radio experience.
You can help get WJMU back on the air with live programming. A total of $110,000 is needed for a powerful new broadcast transmitter and replacement of the damaged antenna. Help return the station and ǿý to full FCC compliance, solidify the station’s broadcast signal, and bring one of the nation’s best college radio stations back on air.
