WRMU—Radio Mt. Union, was chosen as it was available. The original station contained one studio in the basement of Miller Hall. The construction of that studio started in the Fall of 1965. WRMU continued as a campus-only station until October 17, 1970 when the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) granted the college a license for WRMU to become a full-fledged FM station with the frequency 91.1. During the 1970s the station featured a mix of jazz, blues, classical and rock music. The station also began to broadcast Mount Union football and basketball games. From the basement of Miller Hall, the radio station moved to new quarters on the second floor of Memorial Hall in 1983. The station grew from two studios to a total of four. A year later in 1984, the station began broadcasting in stereo. In May 1996, the station moved into its new and current home in the Hoover-Price Campus Center, where visitors can watch air talent through windows in the on-air studio. WRMU was known for its weekday Smooth Jazz format during the 1990s and 2000s, where it branded itself as the "Jazz Giant" of Northeast Ohio. The Smooth Jazz format was eventually dropped in 2015 due to declining student interest in the station. WRMU currently features music from the 80s, 90s, 2000s, and today during the week and "oldies" from the 50s, 60s, and 70s during the weekend. R91 In January 2010, student-run radio shows broadcasting from 10pm to 2am on weekdays switched to the collective moniker of "R91", short for "Raider 91." The student shows feature a wide variety of music from rock to hip-hop, pop and alternative. R91 is meant to appeal to the Mount Union student body, in contrast to the daytime variety hits format that reaches out to the local Alliance/Canton, Ohio area. The R91 block was eventually shifted to 6pm to midnight in the mid-2010s.
