University of Miami has a college station on 90.5 (http://www.wvum.org/)
Nova Southeastern University has a deal worked out with Broward Co.'s WKPX to broadcast their "Radio-X" format at night. Fairly good program and sound (http://radiox.nova.edu/)
The Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale has an internet and part 15 radio station with a very professional setup. Actually, if you can plunk down about $40k, their broadcasting related degrees are very good. (http://www.aiflradio.com/)
Barry University USED to own WXEL, WPB's NPR station, but sold it off last year. Check out their student-run station on 1640 AM or at http://stream.barry.edu/BarryRadioStation.asx
Hope this helps

What kind of degree do they offer in broadcasting? With the way the industry is today if it's a degree for an on-air position a student might not be making the best investment for the education dollar. There aren't as many high paying jobs at least on the operational side of local radio or TV.
I used to hear WVUM with their 10 watt signal at times all the way up in Hollywood. It was fun to listen to, you never knew what they were going to do next!

Re: College station & Broadcasting Degree.
> What kind of degree do they offer in broadcasting?
The Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale offers an associate's degree in broadcasting with an opiton of radio or TV. You get trained on stuff like ProTools, AudioVault, and you learn a good deal of technical stuff. By the time you leave AiFL, I think they have you trained to completely understand the software aspects of programming and production as well as the speech aspects. The best reason to get a degree from there, however, is because the job connections are pretty good and a lot of hot rich girls go there (note the stereotype)
I almost went to AiFL when I graduated high school in '98, but chose to stay at home and get a four year degree in communications up in Virginia while selling my body to radio stations for minimum wage as a board op. (Whew, run on sentence) I got an on-air spot in less than a year, moved to a station in an arbitron rated market, then moved down here to GA to pursue a master's degree in sound design, PLUS a 30 h/wk job, PLUS weekend work at a local radio station...
If you're looking for a four-year degree (my dad insisted on one), both UM and Barry have broadcasting degrees. I would assume UM's is better simply because of the big alumni connection, but some people (like myself) never had the grades for UM...

If you're going into radio, I would think the best bet would be to get involved in high school or college and use it as a side job. That way you leave college with a useful degree and some experience

I do enjoy their music sometimes. I have family living in Plantation and Dania Beach, both of which lose WUVM's signal to a creole pirate. When I was in Young Circle (or what's left of it) I picked up the station clear as a bell!

I'm at FAU now for Communications at the Davie Campus, but I used to listen to them on 91.7 when I used to go to Boca for meetings and tests. Sounded great!
Then I read in the paper CALL-FM in the Keys complained to the FCC that they were interfering with their licensed signal, which I personally think is bogus because even with FM, the negative percentage of the power of a light blub doesn't travel 40 miles plus, even running on the Mono pilot. I used to lose the station almost right at the light of FAU and Glades Rd, on my good car radio. The FM got cut off, and they're down to speakers on campus and webstreams.
FAU SGA needs to learn two words, or a number, two letters and one word: AM1000 Rangemaster! Or.........
Here's an idea for NSU Radio-X and FAU Radio. I've been doing my homework the last couple of years when the HD Radio craze fired up. There are X number of college radio stations, and X to the infinity of colleges.
NSU and FAU eam up with a non-comm FM in their market (maybe WKPX and WXEL-FM) and run as an HD2 channel. Help fund the main station getting the gear, the main stations LMA HD2 out as a public service and cross promote the hell out of all of them. Instant 24-hour stations and outlets for students for colleges without dishing out millions of dollars that they probably don't have on the spectrum that is chock full, especially down here.
I'm not a fan of IBOC because of the adjacent interference and downgraded processing for the analogs, BUT I think for educational purposes and granting the professionals of the future experience and knowledge, it could be a very worthwhile thing.
Now that I've probably destroyed any chances of working in this market by hinting of more choices from non comms to take away ears from the big boys, any thoughts? lol J/K.

Why not put it on a second adj. channel? I think FAU was being irresponsible putting it on 91.7.

Rangemasters are great...At the college I'm at now, the station uses an LP2000(?) P15 AM transmitter. Even though the processing is good, the thing might go a 1/4 a mile.

An excellent idea...in about five years. Right now, HD radios are an extreme rarity and expensive. They are just like microwaves...expensive as hell until they increased in popularity. Now, I could buy one at Wally World with half a day's pay.

I certainly agree! HD radio is certainly "the wave of the future"...can't wait until I can buy a cheap receiver!

UM has both Broadcasting and Broadcast Journalism degrees, but neither one has any radio content outside the history in the "Intro to Broadcasting" class. The only radio-related stuff I did while working on a Broadcasting minor was an elective in audio production (which only 4 of us took - I don't know if it's even offered now), and an elective on 'Broadcast Programming' which had about 2 weeks' worth of radio format discussion at the very end of the semester.<P ID="signature">______________

It's a shame that the Communications Department at UofM decided to abandon radio. There are a lot of us out here from the early/mid 70's who are still in the business and very successful. Dave Hass (Van Dyke) was the GM at CBS in LA for over a decade. Me, I own 4 stations in Alabama. There are a lot more of us out there. Frankly, WVUM is why I came to Miami. Wanted to go to a school with a radio station that wasn't NPR and was student controlled. That's where I cut my teeth in the radio industry. A WVUM aircheck got me a full time position at WSHE in 1973.
