Intercollegiate Broadcasting System
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Intercollegiate Broadcasting System (IBS) is an organization of over 1000 non-profit, education-affiliated radio stations (and webcasters).
Founded in 1940, IBS is headquartered in New Windsor, NY, with a legal office in Washington, DC, and frequently represents its members with FCC negotiations, copyright issues, and litigation.
In 2006, the FCC reported that there were 2,533 noncommercial educational radio stations, out of a total of 13,525 USA radio stations. However, most do not affiliate nationally, and IBS represents over 90% of those that do. IBS is also a member of the National Association of Broadcasters.
[edit] HISTORY
IBS was founded in 1940, by George Abraham and David W. Borst, who were among the originators of AM carrier-current campus college radio. Later, IBS was instrumental in getting the FCC to secure an FM "reserved band" from 88.1 to 91.9 MHz, where most noncommercial stations are now located, and in establishing the Class D (10-watt) LPFM (Low Power FM) provisions for entry-level noncommercial stations.
The current President of IBS is Norman Prusslin, founder and former General manager of WUSB FM. Len Mailloux, IBS Chairman of the Board, is responsible for "IBS Coast-to-Coast and worldwide". Thomas K. Gibson is Vice President and Director of Engineering.
