WBAU (90.3 FM) was the call sign[2] of the student-operated radio station located at Adelphi University in Garden City, New York, 18 miles (29 km) east of Midtown Manhattan.
WBAU was located at 90.3 on the FM dial,[3] which it shared with WHPC, owned by Nassau Community College.
When, in 1971, the school decided to expand broadcast to the FM band, a protest by nearby WHLI (based on the call letters sounding so similar) led to the change to WBAU.
Three years later they secured a new, higher location atop the Marriott Hotel in Uniondale, New York.
The remnants of the dual control room, multichannel studios and the 10,000+ album record/CD library, which took over 40 years to collect, were discarded by the university.
