WIIT (FM 88.9 MHz) is the broadcast radio station of the Illinois Institute of Technology in Chicago, Illinois. It is a student-run, non-commercial station.
The station has an open format and focuses on allowing students and community members to experience broadcast.
WIIT was an AM radio station through the 1960s, using the name WIIT Radio 64. It was simulcasting on AM 640 and stereo FM 88.9 by the end of January 1972.
The station was forced to change its callsign to WOUI in 1972 because WIIT was similar to WAIT (AM). After the WAIT callsign was dropped, the IIT station eventually returned to its original call letters, WIIT, on February 23, 2001.
The station has survived debilitating lightning strikes, budgets below $100, and being forced from their original location in the Armor Building on IIT Campus to a smaller location across the hall.
The station moved to the McCormick Tribune Campus Center in 2004.
Shows broadcast by the station as of 2015 include community shows "Midday with K" and "The Dukes Classic Soul and R&B Revue" "Gospel In The Streets Radio with God's Will & Glory" and student-hosted show "Illinois Tech Lunch" and "The Late Late Yesterday Show".
For a long time he's been lucky man
No difference if it's good or bad
The trigger's his - the orders others
No way to stop the final blow
The message: here ya go
The countdown's on a roll
War against the world
All systems deadly armed
Machine, man, all in one
They're all oblivious to the crime
Braindead hero
Braindead hero - out of the sun he comes
Braindead hero
Braindead hero - feel the blazing guns
Now we got to blow his circuitry
Drain the poison from his veins
Degenerate - corrupt his memories
Fire at will - just do or die
The message: here ya go
The countdown's on a roll
War against the world
All systems deadly armed
Machine, man, all in one
They're all oblivious to the crime
Braindead hero
Braindead hero -like a hammer from the sky
Braindead hero
Braindead hero - supersonic cry
You better stay just where you are
Consequences in the fire
Braindead hero
Braindead hero - out of the sun he comes
Braindead hero
