Talk:WSRN-FM

I removed the quote about being the oldest college radio station. WRUC makes that claim for itself, starting over-the-air broadcasting in 1920. Unless someone has a reference for the WSRN claim, we should leave it out. Simon12 05:51, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Well Swarthmore claims the station began as an amateur radio club in 1919, but didn't start broadcasting on AM until 1940.. Even the 1919 claim is not enough to say that it was the first college radio station, so the claim should be left out until verified. Simon12 05:57, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Carrier-current certainly isn't over-the-air, and arguably doesn't count as "broadcast." Until the station went FM, its signal was available only to listeners whose radios were plugged into Swarthmore College's AC outlets. 174.31.218.42 (talk) 21:16, 13 November 2010 (UTC)

"Worldwide Swarthmore Radio Network?" wsrnfm.org doesn't mention the title. 130.58.248.85 (talk) 20:13, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
 * The original carrier-current AM station was referred to as SN, the "Swarthmore Network." This is mentioned in .  When the station was picking a callsign for its FM broadcast application, the initial W was already fixed by the FCC, and the addition of an R for "radio" made for a convenient backronym.  174.31.218.42 (talk) 21:16, 13 November 2010 (UTC)
