With new studios and the raised power output of WRST now reached the whole city of Oshkosh and surrounding communities. On-Air was a WRST announcer. Students also learn radio production skills through classes, but also through experience by participating in live remote broadcasts at various events on campus and in the Oshkosh community as well. Experience in working with major record labels, in regards to tracking certain artists played at the station, and reporting airplay is sometimes a major undertaking, considering the station may receive 30 or more CD's per week. WRST is affiliated with Wisconsin Public Radio, which is programmed morning and early afternoons until WRST goes with student run Local Programming at 3pm.
Weekends are a cornucopia of music stylings.
WRST is a college Non-Commercial FM station, which results in most of our funding coming from the University or through underwriting our programming through local businesses. We pride in being a station that provides an alternative to the commercial giants in the radio industry. We play music before it can be heard anywhere else. Many artists got their break through college radio. The list goes on and on.
