WEGL FM 91.1

A Class A non-commercial FM station owned by Auburn University and operated entirely by student volunteers drawn from the university's student body, faculty, and staff. Broadcasting at 1,800 watts from a campus tower, the signal reaches several surrounding Alabama counties as well as parts of Muscogee County, Georgia, and is also available via internet stream. The station traces its origins to 1922, when an earlier Auburn station, WMAV, broadcast from campus before being relocated to Birmingham and renamed WAPI. The present station signed on April 25, 1971, at 10 watts on 91.1 MHz; the inaugural broadcast played "Another Day" by Paul McCartney. Power was progressively increased, reaching 380 watts in 1975 and continuing to grow in subsequent decades. Funding is allocated primarily through Auburn University's Student Government Association via student activity fees. Programming is eclectic and student-curated, with a daily schedule spanning jazz, indie rock, folk, alternative rock, and specialty shows. Named programs include "David Jones' Locker," "Rattle yer Skull," "Psyched Up," and "The Kitchen," reflecting the volunteer-driven, freeform programming philosophy characteristic of college radio.
