Curious, do many colleges still put as much effort and resources into terrestrial broadcasting stations and programs as was once the case? Also, back in the day many students worked at the college station in hopes of parlaying that into a career in professional broadcasting, do most nowadays do it as a hobby since so few on-air positions exist compared to even a few decades ago?
Seeing this thread made me wonder about that, because where I grew up, there were a few high school and college stations, and many students from those programs became jocks, announcers or even board ops at the dozen or so stations in that market. Now, aside from a few of those stations which may have local on-air staff in the mornings, all of them for the most part are satellite or computer automated, and one of the college stations went off the air and its now an NPR affiliate with no connection to the school.
