Episode Details

In the mid-1970s, a group of students interested in radio gathered in a broom closet in the C Building of The College of Staten Island. They ran wires to the cafeteria and started spinning records. Forty years later, that tiny broom-closet station became Staten Island's answer: WSIA 88.9 FM. This film tells the story of its first four decades and the people who made it possible. It is a love letter to the legacy of the station and the community.
