Our radio station was AM and FM. Some shows were exclusive to
only AM or FM, but others were simulcast. Later, a few years
after I had graduated, they transitioned to FM stereo with
transmitters located off campus.
The campus had wired links to many of the buildings on campus
so that they could conduct a show from anywhere as the need
arose. I never learned how that was done.
The station info is
https://www.cfrc.ca/ ..and is available
over the internet since 2004.

Sounds like it was good times for sure.
