Bellarmine University started a radio station in the fall of 2005 with the help of Dr. Len Cooper, Dr. Gail Henson, Bellarmine’s Student Government Association, and a few motivated students. In its early stages the station broadcast a Classic Rock format but has since developed into a viable College Rock “grab bag” station with an eclectic mix of music from the 1990’s and today, all the while supporting local artists from the Louisville music scene. Now that the format has tightened up, the station is looking to play a larger role in the campus community by providing daily announcements about events on campus, extended coverage of Bellarmine Athletics, and a variety of specialty shows. Bellarmine Radio will also sponsor FREE concerts twice a month.
Bellarmine University Radio has given some of those involved career building opportunities, and valuable experience. Bellarmine Radio is also a Registered Student Organization, which means any student or faculty member can get involved. The Communication Department offers a one credit hour broadcasting lab that participants may take to learn more about radio production, audio editing, and song selection.
