"Educational" FM FM statuonsare a special class of broadcasr radio
license; they are restricted in power and as a ewsult only heard by
or known to VERY small loca; audiences. OTOH, a lot have web
sites where their efforts,,,good or bas...can ce hears, I would guess
that much of theit staffs are students in rheir schools' Broadcasring
departmenrs (yes, you CAN get a degree in radiodj'ing...?!)/

<ost of the studenrs give up their sreams when they run head-on
into rea;ities of minimal demans and VERY low wagwa; in reality6
jocks are supposed to be adequately compensated by their
ptrsumed "fame" and thus NOT need pay...?!
