WWSP

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

WWSP 89.9 FM is a college radio station at the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point. It is 11,500 Watts of power with a 65 mile radius. The station is run entirely by the students with a college music format. The station is scheduled to boost their power to 30,000 Watts in 2008.

The station is host to a trivia contest, which is run by former teacher and longtime local radio personality named Jim Oliva, and John Eckendorf each April that serves as a fund raiser for the station and the college. The contest is the largest of its kind, drawing over 14,000 people into the city of Stevens Point, Wisconsin, which is only 25,000 people in size. Participants come to Stevens Point from all over the United States, as well as from other countries. They are also able to play remotely through the WWSP webcast, and linked online with teams by chatrooms.
