Historical Note
KBVR-FM, the student-operated campus radio station, began broadcasting in
1965 as a 10-watt station. In January 1967, KBVR television began
broadcasting for several hours one or two evenings per week, on the
closed circuit television system used during the day for classroom
television. Both the radio and television stations were originally
located in Shepard Hall, but moved to the Memorial Union East when that
facility was completed in 1977. KBVR radio and television are funded and
administered through the Memorial Union and Student Activities as one of
the components of Student Media.
Related Materials
Several videotapes of KBVR productions and broadcasts are in the Motion
Picture Films and Videotapes Collections (P 170). Other materials
pertaining to KBVR are available in the Memorabilia Collection and the
