I worked for a 10 watt station at a small school in the Midwest. There were places on campus where you could see the transmitter and still not get a signal.

Super cool, did a lot of people listen to it on campus? Spotify was already pretty ubiquitous when I went to college, so the campus station wasn't as popular.

It wasn't particularly popular. There were only 1100 students, so the potential audience was tiny. A fellow DJ put on Debbie Gibson and announced that if anyone asked him to stop he would. And he did a four-hour shift of "I Think We're Alone Now."

The saddest part of that was that the station was also broadcast via speakers in the student union.
