A concept of operations was developed, presentations were given to the school President, Dr. Carl C. Bracy (who whole-heartedly gave his blessings) and to the Student Senate who allocated $2,000 as seed money for a station.

Personnel at WKSU were contacted and most helpful including providing schematics and drawings for the design of the carrier current transmitters they had used.

School electrician Jim Hayes wired it into the King Hall dormitory power system and it worked like a charm.

In May 1996, the station moved into its new and current home in the Hoover-Price Campus Center, where visitors can watch air talent through windows in the on-air studio.

In January 2010, student-run radio shows broadcasting from 10pm to 2am on weekdays switched to the collective moniker of "R91", short for "Raider 91."

The student shows feature a wide variety of music from rock to hip-hop, pop and alternative.

R91 is meant to appeal to the Mount Union student body, in contrast to the daytime variety hits format that reaches out to the local Alliance/Canton, Ohio area.
