History

WPSC went on the air in 1867 through closed circuit on campus to several buildings and then also as a carrier current station (590 AM) as well. During the 1970s WPSC-AM continued to broadcast on campus, both over the air and piped into various buildings on campus while the quest for an FM frequency in the very crowded NY/NJ market began. For a time (1972–1974) WPSC also had an arrangement with WFMU to broadcast a weekly 2 hour pre-recorded program on WFMU.
