WSBU Hits Top of the Charts Again

St. Bonaventure University’s student-run radio station, WSBU-FM 88.3 The Buzz, has once again reached the top of the charts.

Just four years after being ranked No. 1 in the “Best College Radio Station” category, WSBU hit the top spot again this year in The Princeton Review’s annual college guide, which ranked St. Bonaventure as one of the nation’s “Best 376 Colleges.” The station previously held the top spot in 2007 then dropped to No. 2 in 2008 and 2009, and to No. 4 in 2010.

Rankings reporting the top 20 colleges for radio stations, along with more than 50 other categories, are in the 2011 edition of The Princeton Review’s annual college guide, which was released Tuesday.

The station, founded in 1948, prides itself on broadcasting 24 hours a day, seven days a week, offering a variety of music, including modern rock, alternative and hip-hop, along with news, sports and specialty shows.

In February, WSBU was also voted one of the 10 finalists for mtvU’s 2011 College Radio Woodie Award.

WSBU — located on the Web at www.wsbufm.net — has been ranked among the top five college radio stations in the Princeton Review survey for more than a decade.

The rankings are based on an 80-question survey sent to more than 122,000 students across the nation covering topics such as social life, fellow students, campus and community. The Princeton Review is not affiliated with Princeton University.
