ITT: people who have never heard of college radio stations

There is no such thing in France. Only crap between lots of ads.

In Brazil there is a lot of decent radio stations, though they mostly play the same music they have played since the 2000s.

I'm people ITT. what's a college radio station? I'm imagining the illegal setup Hal had in that Malcolm in the middle episode.

It’s a radio station at a college. They are usually public access and therefore, the content is free form.

I'd like to shout out community radio as well! Your town or city probably has one or you can stream them online. Local DJs playing whatever they want with no ads, just music. I volunteer for a couple and they're really fun to be a part of.

When I was at uni in the early 2000s in the UK our uni radio was internet only. I would assume that's something that wouldn't have gone backwards in the last 20 or so years.
