[edit] History
[edit] Pre-1972
founded in 1972 The first radio broadcasts from campus were agricultural programs sponsored by the Cooperative Extension Services. These were broadcast live over telephone lines to WHEB in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. In 1930, a radio station was constructed on the third floor of Thompson Hall, the main administrative building, and students from the Speech and Drama Department formed the Mike and Dial Club (WMDR), producing live dramatic plays and a variety of other shows. In 1952, a new transmitter allowed the campus to send radio signals through electrical lines on campus and WMUR was born. In 1958, the station moved into the newly-constructed Memorial Union Building and in 1962 successfully applied for an FM license for WUNH.
