WPIR first began broadcasting this past February on WPI Cable Channel 38. It was kind of weird because you had to watch TV (a cool clock and thermometer) to listen to us. That all changed this past May when we began broadcasting over WPI Cable 90.1 FM. Let me 'splain. Your cable company not only gives you Cable TV channels, but also has an FM radio signal which it sends. With an FM splitter, you can get the TV stuff into the TV, and get the radio stuff (like 90.1 FM) on your radio. As of now, 90.1 FM on WPI Cable is the ONLY way to listen to us. Plans for the future include actual broadcasting over the airwaves.
WPIR will be at the activities fair on the Quad Wednesday, from 2:30-4:00. If you want to get involved, or just hang out and find out about us, come on down. We will also be selling FM splitters ($2) and offering E-Z installation instructions.
For more information, or if you have any further questions, feel free to email us at radio@wpi, stop by the studio, call us at 5955/5956, or check out our World Wide Web page. You can access it through
Hope to see you all at the activities fair!
