WUML (91.5 MHz) is a non-commercial FM college radio station licensed to Lowell, Massachusetts, United States. The station is owned by the University of Massachusetts Lowell. The transmitter is atop Fox Hall on Pawtucket Street in Lowell. History WUML was started in 1952 by Ed Bonacci, a student attending what was then called the Lowell Technological Institute. After accidentally building a transmitter in his dorm room, a studio was built in Kitson Hall, with a 5-10 watt transmitter located in the basement of the old library. At exactly 7:00 pm on January 15, 1953, the newly christened WLTI began broadcasting on carrier current over electrical power wires specifically to Eames and Smith Hall, as well as Alumni Library on the University's North Campus. During the summer of 1953, permanent station consoles were built and readied for the moving of the studio from Kitson Hall to the basement of Eames Hall, which at that time was being used as a trunk room. On November 26, 1967, WLTI became a Federal Communications Commission (FCC)-licensed and regulated educational FM station broadcasting on air at its current frequency of 91.5 FM, using 10-watt transmitter and antenna capable of reaching Cumnock, Southwick, Leitch, and Bourgeois Halls. Construction on new facilities in the basement of Lydon Library began in 1969 and were completed in 1971, before being renovated in 2005. Currently located in Lydon, the station contains two studios (one responsible for broadcasting) as well as the Fallout Shelter, a live studio for acts to perform on air. Credited to Chris Porter and Bob Weston, the creation of the Fallout Shelter brought acts such as Pixies, Frank Zappa, Cheech & Chong, Jorge Santana, and Jethro Tull as well as many others through the years, and it continues to operate during Live from the Fallout Shelter on Monday nights. WLTI transitioned to the call sign WJUL after the Lowell Technological Institute merged with Lowell State College in 1975 to form the Joint University of Lowell. The station changed its call sign once again on October 15, 2003, to its current WUML in order to display the UML title the school received after joining the University of Massachusetts system in 1991. In the mid-2000s, a morning show, Lowell Sunrise, was added to the schedule. It was produced by paid professional staff and managed by the university itself, rather than the undergraduate student organization. The show itself was meant
