By the fall of 1956, a group of students had secured equipment and expertise in AM closed carrier circuit system broadcasting to begin to offer programming on 570 on the AM dial.
The FCC granted the College's request for a low-powered educational FM radio station in November 1960.
The FM signal allowed the entire campus and Ripon community to hear the station's programming.
The highs included 24-hour music and entertainment programming, the expansion of live coverage of sports and campus events, and several awards for broadcast excellence.
In its final years, the station's studios were located on the top level of the Harwood Memorial Union.
