WMSC is Montclair State's underground radio station. The Station was founded in 1964 by the students of Montclair State College.
[edit] History
Originally a carrier-current AM station called WVMS (The Voice of Montclair State), it was soon moved to the FM dial and the call letters were changed to WMSC. In 1984 WMSC was moved to 101.5 in an FCC attempt to break up the "college band" on the FM dial. This lasted 10 years until 1994, when, in a controversial decision, the administration of MSC accepted a deal from WKXW Trenton (New Jersey 101.5) to move the station back to 90.3, where it remains today. WMSC broadcasts 24 hours a day, 7 days a week during the semester and slightly less often during school breaks.
[edit] Focus
WMSC specializes in playing the newest underground music, focusing on indie, punk, hardcore, and hip hop. WMSC is currently streamed throughout the globe on the internet radio site www.live365.com.
