WMUA (91.1 FM) is UMass Amherst's student-run community radio station, established in 1949 originally as an AM station. The station broadcasts in stereo on FM channel 216 (91.1MHz). Though it is run by full-time, fee-paying undergraduates, other faculty, staff, assorted members of the community, and graduate students contribute to the station. WMUA is broadcast to the Connecticut River Valley, including Western Massachusetts, Northern Connecticut, and Southern Vermont. The station is federally-licensed (authorized by the FCC) and non-commercial, and is under the supervision of the UMass Board of Trustees.

[edit] Technical information

WMUA's signal is also received in southern New Hampshire and western Worcester County, MA. WMUA functions are based out of the UMass Amherst campus. The studio is located in the basement of the Lincoln Campus Center building. The actual transmitter and antenna are located on Observatory Way, between the Orchard Hill & Sylvan Residential living areas. The station is a licensed "class A" broadcast facility.

In 2001, WMUA bought a new radio transmitter to replace their original. The original transmitter, atop Dickinson Hall in Orchard Hill, is still in place and serves as a backup.
