WFAL (AM)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
WFAL is a micropower radio station in Bowling Green, Ohio. WFAL is one of Bowling Green State University's two college radio stations, along with WBGU-FM.
It was started as a pirate radio station in a BGSU dorm in the 1970s when the University soon decided to make it a school sponsored station. The station has gone through a variety of format changes including Top 40, AOR (album-oriented rock), to the current format of modern rock. The modern rock format consists of 3 genred departments: modern rock, punk, and metal.
WFAL is a commercial station that is not licensed by the FCC. While it broadcasts on 1610 AM, it can best be heard through the Time Warner Cable 15 channel in northwest Ohio as well as through its webcast at WFALradio.com.
As opposed to WBGU-FM, WFAL is open to students only and not to community members or faculty.
