WSND-FM's studios and offices are in the Duncan Student Center at Notre Dame. The transmitter is off Ironwood Road in the southern section of South Bend.[2] Extended newscasts are heard at 7:30 am, 8:30 am, 12:30 pm, 4:30 pm, and 5:30 pm Monday through Friday, and at 12 pm on weekends.[3][4] The PBS Newshour airs weeknights at 7 p.m.

History

Notre Dame University had been operating a student run carrier current radio station, only heard around the campus, since the 1940s. It also owned WNDU (1490 AM), 92.9 WNDU-FM, and WNDU-TV (channel 16), which were commercial operations staffed by broadcasting professionals. (The WNDU radio stations were sold in 1998, and WNDU-TV was sold in 2005.)

The university wanted to put a student-run radio station on the air to help train students in broadcasting. On September 17, 1962, WSND-FM signed on the air as a 10 watt educational station licensed to the University of Notre Dame. It was operated by students during the university's Fall and Spring semesters and signed off during the summer and other school breaks.

In 1971, WSND-FM expanded its schedule and improved its signal coverage. A new 3,430 watt transmitter was installed, which covered the South Bend area and surrounding communities including parts of lower Michigan. WSND-FM added to its staff to include area volunteers who helped keep the station operating during summer breaks and other times when classes were not being held. Today, WSND-FM continues to be operated with a complementary mix of students and volunteers. In 2012, chief operator Edwin Jaroszewski celebrated his 40th year with the station.

In the mid-1980s, under the stewardship of Eliot Coe, who was Jazz Director from 1984 to 1986, the station pioneered an eclectic mix of jazz music. An evening program known as "Nocturne Nightflight" features rock, techno, metal and other current genres. "An Hour of Stories" is a weekly program featuring folktales, and "Explorations in Piano Literature" is a weekly excursion into canonical keyboard music research.
