WBUQ-FM 91.1 “The Revolution” is the college radio station of Bloomsburg University of Pennsylvania. It is a 600-watt non-commercial, educational radio station that is operated by the students of the Radio Broadcasting Club (RBC) at the university. The purpose of the RBC is to provide a means of student training and experience in radio broadcasting, to provide a means of entertainment and information for the student body and community, to serve the public interest, and to be an instrument of expression for student, faculty and community opinion, in accordance with the rules of the FCC.
At the beginning of each semester, the WBUQ Executive Staff holds a general meeting for students who are interested in being a DJ. Show openings are available for a wide variety of not only students, but staff as well. WBUQ gives students the opportunity to work hands-on with new digital broadcasting equipment.
