Second-seeded Seton Hall will face seventh-seeded Notre Dame on Wednesday at 1:00 p.m. The Pirates will face either #3 Pittsburgh or #6 St. John's on Thursday. WSOU will call every game until Seton Hall wins the Championship or is eliminated.
Always a vital part of Seton Hall University from the time it signed on the air, WSOU began broadcasting on 89.5 FM on April 14, 1948. The station would never have gotten on the air without the dedication and inspiration of Monsignor Thomas J. Gillhooly, the station's first faculty director.
WSOU's studios were originally located in the basement of the university's recreation center. In 1998, the station was moved to a state-of-the-art facility inside a new addition to the recreation center.
Since its inception, WSOU has always been a student-run radio station. To this day, students manage the day-to-day operations of the station. Although a noncommercial station, WSOU's management and staff structure is modeled on commercial radio, which provides students with enriching career-oriented educational experiences. Opportunities for student staff members include on-air hosting (DJ), production, promotion, newscasting, sportscasting, programming, sales and marketing, and engineering. WSOU draws students from all university colleges and programs, including communications, business, biology, education, nursing, sports management and diplomacy.
During its 60-year history, WSOU has gone through many changes. But one thing has not change - WSOU remains consistently dedicated to enriching the lives of Seton Hall students while entertaining and enlightening its listening audience.
