Expert advice, rankings and data to help you navigate your musical journey and find the best college radio station for you.

#1 WALT 1610  RADIO STATION 

WALT 1610 has remained a consistent force on the college radio scene. It is known for throwing awesome events, maintaining its stellar social media presence, and just being straight up cool.  It is no question that they would rank first on our fact based list. This can all be traced to former station manager Thomas Hammonds, who’s hardcore leadership style promoted nothing but the best. This legacy has continued and based on WALT’s current numbers it seems like they have a bright future ahead.

#2 SOUNDS OF COLORADO COLLEGE

Sounds of Colorado college has a lot of good people working at their team. We have been particulalry impressed by new rookie DJ Massimo, who before becoming a radio personality lead a successful music career. Additionally, senior Liv has shown a lot of leadership and artistry in their role at the radio station. We admire their aethetic and commitment to radio which is why we rank them #2. We are also inspired by their website and their awesome mascot.

#3 WRMC - MIDDLEBURY COLLEGE RADIO

WRMC actually streams on air and is notable for its long time history.  Leadership from the 80s put the station on the upward track. Unfortunatley, despite their talents we have noticed problems ever since infamous host Jack McGuire is missing in action. However, even while missing their top DJ, WRMC still continues to put out top tier content. Also they have an app which is cool and unique.
