WLSX The X

A college radio station operated as the radio laboratory for the Introduction to Radio course at Grand Valley State University in Allendale, Michigan. The station is managed by the School of Communications as a component of the Journalism, Broadcasting, and Digital Media program. On the Allendale campus, the station broadcasts on 900 AM; it also streams online. Programming consists primarily of music from the Top 100 charts of the 1980s and 1990s, spanning genres including pop, rock, rap, rhythm and blues, progressive rock, and dance music. The station's format is notable for featuring tracks that are uncommon in contemporary commercial radio rotation, including album cuts and lesser-known chart entries from those decades. Student broadcasters practice on-air presentation skills as part of the educational curriculum, and the programming schedule reflects the academic calendar. The station functions primarily as an educational facility, providing hands-on training for students pursuing careers in radio broadcasting and audio media production.
