college radio
University station programming
College radio refers to radio stations operated by colleges and universities, typically staffed by students and broadcasting from campus.
These stations are known for playing alternative, independent, or experimental music that gets little airtime on commercial stations: I discovered so many bands through college radio.
The term evokes a DIY ethos and eclectic programming unconstrained by mainstream formats.
