A college radio station is a type of radio station that operates on the campus of a college or university. These stations are typically run by students, with guidance from faculty advisors and staff members, and they often focus on playing independent music, news programming, and other content that may not be found on commercial radio stations. College radio stations provide an opportunity for students to gain hands-on experience in broadcasting, as well as a platform for airing diverse musical genres, cultural programming, and community events.
