History

In 1968, IUP applied for a construction permit to build a new radio station at 91.3 MHz, broadcasting with 1,600 watts. The new station was initially slated to broadcast from the Learning Research Center, at that time under construction.^[3] WIUP-FM signed on for the first time on October 9, 1969,^[4] from its Davis Hall studios.

WIUP-FM relocated frequencies to 90.1 MHz in 1980.^[5] This move was a requirement of a facility upgrade for WYEP-FM in Pittsburgh, which at the same time was approved move from 91.5 to 91.3 and increased its effective radiated power.^[6]
