WRGW (student radio)

WRGW is the student-run radio station of The George Washington University. It broadcasts live every day online throughout the school year between 8am and 2am. The studio is in the ground floor of the Cloyd Heck Marvin Center, where it has been located since 1999.

History

While now only available on the internet, the station is named for a licensed broadcast radio station that first operated on campus in 1948. That station was created as a result of efforts by GWU's Radio Club, which was founded in February 1929. With the exception of a period between 1984 and 1986, WRGW has operated continuously since its founding, first on AM 540 and currently at http://www.gwradio.com.

In 2013, WRGW received the Pyramid Award for Student Organization of the Year.

WRTV-AM 600

WRTV-AM 600 was a radio station at the George Washington University from the mid eighties until the late 1990s when it merged with WRGW. Unlike WRGW, which was entirely student operated, WRTV was a branch of the university's communications department. Academic advisors to the station included Professor Joan Thiel, Professor Gregory Lowe, and NPR's, Corey Flintoff.
