Everything about Walf totally explained
WALF is a radio station based in
Village of Alfred, located at 89.7FM. It is funded by the
Alfred University Student Senate.
History
The station started in November 1971 in the basement of 6 Sayles Street, and has since moved twice, to Steinheim in the mid-
70s, and then to its current location in the Powell Campus Center when it opened in
1993. The station is run entirely by students volunteering their time, and has a true freeform genre, allowing the 80+ volunteer student
DJs to play what they want (within
FCC regulations), who fill most of the time slots from 9:00am-2:00am. Other DJs include faculty and community members.
WALF is ranked the 15th best
college radio station according to the Princeton Review, and the largest student organization on campus based on the number of students actively participating.
Many people have been interviewed by WALF, a great feat for such a small station. Recent interviews include
Dar Williams and
Ralph Nader in March 2006.
In Spring 2007, WALF is expected to start running morning news programs from
Democracy Now! at noon and
BBC World Service News before the live DJs start at 9:00a.

Currently WALF has 12 members on its student exec staff, and one faculty advisor:
- Ben Duffy, Station Manager
