WBUL 1620am

WBUL 1620am is one of Florida's largest student-run radio stations. Every aspect of operation is handled by student workers and volunteers.

The station's official slogan, The Underground, represents its diverse underground musical programming and its current location in the lower level of USF's student union.

WBUL first went on the air in 1988, broadcasting from the Andros classroom building with very primitive equipment. From those humble beginnings, the station grew into a valuable media resource and educational tool for the USF community.

Volunteers are the heart of the organization. Student volunteers interested in music, journalism, and radio have the opportunity to work with and learn from professionals in their field of interest. WBUL maintains regular contact with major record labels, headlining bands, and local media outlets.

Programming

WBUL's programming represents over a dozen genres of music along with daily news, sports, and talk shows. The station transmits live 24x7 over AM frequency, closed-circuit campus-television, and online streams.

The Music Department works to deliver fresh, new music to DJ's and students. Each week, dozens of new albums are reviewed and placed in rotation for on-air play. WBUL is proud to deliver fresh independent programming without corporate influence. To become a part of your student radio station, visit our contact page and drop us a line.
