WCWP (88.1 FM) is a student-run radio station licensed to and owned by Long Island University. The station, located on the university's LIU Post campus in Brookville, New York, broadcasts a variety of music programs, branding itself as "Public Radio that Rocks!"[1] Broadcasting with an effective radiated power of 100 watts, the station serves the northern Nassau County, New York area.[2]
History
In the spring of 1960, S. Arthur Beltrone '63 and theatre arts professor Virgil Jackson Lee founded WCWP as a closed-circuit radio station. The Radio Club of C.W. Post College was initiated at this time. WCWP first went on the air at noon on October 18, 1961. Two years later, plans were made to extend the station's reach through a non-commercial, educational FM station. In January 1965, WCWP acquired new facilities, which were named after Benjamin Abrams.[3]
On November 30, 1970, Dean Julian Mates ordered WCWP to be closed down "to protect our station license" after obscenities were broadcast. The shutdown came at the end of the station's regular program schedule that day.[4]
