Everyone I know who has worked in college radio loved it. I wish my college
had a proper station, instead they had an audiocast on their in-house cable
system - as well as a couple of local cable TV stations that anyone could
sign up for, but they were limited to on-campus viewing.
Cable provided some fun times in the '90s. Cable access regulations required
that cable providers to provide air time to local talent. In San Francisco
Viacom cable had a full production set with cameras and some basic sets that
you could block time for and do a show to be broadcast on cable.
A couple of friends of mine had a talk show with a band, local guests and a
"live studio audience" composed of friends. We'd all go out for dinner and
drinks afterwards.
... It's all more or less the same.. but it's all different now.
