SC State, under the guidance of radio general manager Carl A'see, has launched ESPN Orangeburg consisting of WPJK AM 1580 and 92.9 FM.
Along with its national lineup of ESPN programming, the SC State stations will feature coverage of local college and high school sports.
"The partnership shows the university's commitment to serving the Orangeburg and surrounding communities and strengthens SC State University's community engagement and outreach through sports via radio," A'see said in a university news release. "Students will have the chance to learn, train and cover live local sports events, do sports reporting and work behind the scenes in station operations."
Operating four stations now (WSSB 90.3 with its jazz format and a student online station are the other two) SC State is in rarified air among not only HBCUs but all U.S. colleges in that it owns commercial radio stations.
