WRSU-FM is celebrating 60 years as Rutgers' original student-operated radio station, one of the first and last of its kind. The station is non-commercial and is funded by Rutgers University and underwriting from businesses in the community. Shows range from all types of music to commercial-free Rutgers sports and talk. It operates under the guide of a radio council comprised of media professionals and a faculty administrator. As with many college stations, the station features community programming on Sundays that encompasses a unique blend of cultures and backgrounds.

WRSU-AM went on the air on April 26, 1948 as an AM carrier current station that eventually settled on 680 AM. WRSU could only be heard in the dorms or very close to the College Avenue and Douglass campuses. Our first permanent studios were located at 12 College Avenue in a building that currently serves as the Bildner Center on Jewish Life. WRSU moved to its present facilities in 1971 at 126 College Avenue when the Rutgers Student Center was completed.

WRSU-FM went on the air on Jan 27, 1974 at 88.7 Mhz with an effective radiated power of 1350 watts. WRSU-AM and FM were broadcast simultaneously with different programming until 1976. WRSU can be heard about 15 to 20 miles north and over 20 miles south of New Brunswick, licensed 24 hours a day.
