In 1959, Ted Hunnicut began broadcasting an experimental radio station - the forerunner of WCWM - from the cellar of Chapman House. WCWM operated from Phi Beta Kappa Hall from 1959 until the 1985-1986 school year, when it moved to a basement studio in the Campus Center.

The information available here is the best available from known documents and sources at the time it was written. Information in this wiki is not complete as new information continues to be uncovered in the SCRC's collections and elsewhere. Researchers are strongly encouraged to use the SCRC's access tools for their research as the information contained in this wiki is by no means comprehensive.
