WIDB signed on the air on Sunday April 12, 1970 as a completely student-run operation housed in the basement of the Wright Hall dormitories. (We were supposed to be in the basement of Boomer Hall, but there were protests over having a bunch of hippies down there, so we went to Wright instead.) WIDB's early years are a window into the changing landscape of the 60s and 70s – a rising of adolescent views in contrast to those in power – both on a national and university level. Though it was only carrier current, WIDB changed the landscape of SIU.After 17 years in Wright Hall, WIDB moved to the Student Center in 1987. From our offices on the 4th floor, we continue to bring Southern Illinois University Carbondale a center for student voice, cutting edge music, and student-oriented news and sports programming. In our years, we've done Cable FM, and now web streaming.On Wednesday January 26, 2005, WIDB made history again with the launch of our second station: The Remedy – our 24-7 hip-hop station. Alongside our Alt-rock original, the Revolution, we can now provide a bigger outlet than ever for the students of SIU. True to our roots, we're still completely student-run, from the DJs all the way to the General Manager. Who knows what the future holds for WIDB? If our past is any indicator, it'll be a wild ride!
