WIUX-LP
WIUX-LP (99.1 FM) is a low power student-run college radio station in Bloomington, Indiana, United States. The station is owned by Indiana University Student Broadcasting with the slogan 'Pure Student Radio'. low power FM
WIUX is operated by student volunteers currently enrolled in the university. The station has no paid employees or faculty supervisors. The station broadcasts its main programming on 99.1 FM and also maintains an online stream, called "B-Side", which is online only.
WIUX is overseen by a student board of directors, which facilitates the station's committees and programs. The election of the board for the next school year is held each spring. WIUX's committees include music, public relations, marketing, programming, news, special events, sports, and engineering.
On October 31, 2006, WIUX announced on its website that the Federal Communications Commission was granting the 100.3 mHz frequency to a Class A FM radio station in Edinburgh, Indiana, taking over the frequency WIUX had been granted only the previous year. Because the Indiana University student-based station operates as a low-power station, the FCC maintains that it has the right to move the station or remove it from the air. Indiana University filed a petition against the move. The dean of students and vice president of student affairs at Indiana University, Richard McKaig, states in the official petition (available through the WIUX website): "The Indiana frequency did not appear on the Commission's internet site or on a public notice until after the comment reply date of June 13, 2006 deadline. As a result, we did not have a fair chance to file public comments." On November 6, both Indiana senators, Evan Bayh (Dem) and Richard Lugar (Rep), wrote petitions of support for WIUX to the FCC.
On June 4, 2007, WIUX moved from 100.3 FM to 99.1 FM.
