TRADITIONS: WDOM
Student-run radio station WDOM, 91.3 FM, began as an AM station in 1950 but was heard only sporadically until 1964, when two juniors repaired equipment and began broadcasting in a Department of Physics storeroom in Albertus Magnus Hall. The following year, WDOM moved to Alumni Hall, below, with an FM license and a new transmitter and roof antenna. Later, it broadcast from the St. Joseph Hall basement before finding a home in Slavin Center, where student DJs now host 70 shows a week.
