Station History

Students at Indiana State were first on-air from a satellite, instructional studio of WBOW(AM) in the Student Union in 1938. That arrangement continued through World War II, into the 1950's when the studios were moved into their present home in then (then) newly finished Dreiser Hall. The first FM license granted to Indiana State University was for WVIS-FM ("The Voice of Indiana State") in 1964. A few months later, as Indiana State Teachers College became Indiana State University, the call letters were changed to WISU, before the station even hit the airwaves. The first FM broadcast made on an old transmitter donated by WTHI-FM took place on Friday November 13, 1964. WISU flipped formats from AAA to Modern Rock in October 2002.
