=== Radio ===

[[WIDR]] is the college student-run, commercial-free radio station at Western Michigan University. It is known for playing obscure and underground music of all genres, and some local news and talk. Broadcasting 100 watts on 89.1 FM, WIDR can be heard from about a 20-mile radius from campus.

[[WMUK]] is also on Western Michigan University's campus. It hosts many local music programs, including jazz and classical performances, as well as programming from [[NPR]]. WMUK broadcasts at 50,000 watts in high definition on 102.1 FM.

[[WKDS]] is West Michigan's only high-school student-run radio station. The station signed on in 1983 at 89.9 on the FM dial, broadcasting from [[Loy Norrix High School]]. The call letters stood for '''K'''alamazoo '''D'''istrict '''S'''chools (now Kalamazoo Public Schools). For most of its history, WKDS broadcast only during daytime hours and not at all on the weekend. In the fall of 2004, the station began broadcasting 24 hours a day, 7 days a week in an attempt to prevent an outside organization from taking over the time WKDS was off the air. WKDS was part of a county-wide Education for Employment program for years. The radio station is still owned by [[Kalamazoo Public Schools]], although the EFE program has been discontinued. High-school students from around the area continue to operate the station.
