High school radio
High school radio are radio stations located at high schools and usually operated by its students with faculty supervision. The oldest extant high school radio stations began broadcasting in the 1940s, with the advent of the 88–108 MHz FM radio band. Because the 88-92 MHz region was dedicated to non-commercial broadcasting, this allowed for schools to fairly easily obtain licenses from the FCC. The oldest HS station on FM is WNAS in New Albany, Indiana, which started broadcasting in May 1949. The station is still broadcasting today. WHHS, Haverford Senior High School's radio station  also started in 1949, located in Havertown, Pennsylvania. As the FM band increased in listenership in the next few decades, the number of HS stations increased with it. In addition to this number, there have always been untold numbers of unlicensed stations using carrier current (popular through the 1970s), extremely low power or "Part 15" stations, and closed-circuit broadcasting. Many of the licensed stations are assigned to suburban school districts in a few large metro areas: Chicago, Indianapolis, Detroit, Boston, Philadelphia, Seattle and to a lesser extent San Francisco and Cleveland. After a steady decline in their numbers in  the 1980s and '90s, the availability of LPFM licenses has renewed interest in HS radio. John Drury High School Radio Awards. The John Drury Awards are a national competition for high school radio students. The Drury categories include Best Newscast, Best Promotional Announcement, Best Sports Play-by-Play, and Best Public Service Announcement. The awards are held each October annually. The awards luncheon and ceremony is hosted by North Central College in Naperville, Illinois, just outside Chicago. The awards began as a small enterprise, but have grown each year with entries from stations in Michigan, Connecticut, Illinois, Tennessee, Iowa, and  more. They are named in memory of John Drury, a television news anchorman from Chicago, IL. The individual record for most awards won was set in 2007 by Wade Fink. Fink won seven awards, and had more points individually than any other station had total. Points are awarded for each nomination and win in 15 categories. The station with the most points at the end of the ceremony wins "Station of the Year". The previous Station of the Year award winners are: List of radio stations. United States.
