Armed with modest computer equipment and big dreams, students at Wichita State University hope to use the Internet to spread local music worldwide. Students there have been unable to broadcast their own radio shows for more than a decade, according to The Wichita Eagle. But by going online, under the call letters WSUiR, they can keep costs low and allow DJ's to put a diverse mix of music on the air.
Internet radio has found a growing audience among people who grow weary of repetitive play lists on commercial stations. WSUiR organizers say they hope the station can serve as a model for other institutions to put local music online on a shoestring budget. –Dan Carnevale
