ABOUT US
Chapman Radio is an independent, online radio station run entirely by students at Chapman University since 1967.
OUR MISSION
Chapman Radio amplifies student voices over the air waves through our free-form, student-run programming. Any Chapman student can become a DJ and share their passion for a variety of genres and topics on air. We strive to showcase music and stories from all walks of life and provide the resources and knowledge for students to pursue careers in broadcasting and entertainment.
OUR HISTORY
Founded in 1967, Chapman Radio was originally a student-owned radio station designed to play music and make announcements to students in the resident halls.
Our first faculty advisor, Dick Doekett: secured crucial resources for the station in his 40+ year tenure. Allen Levy followed, and served until his retirement in 2015, after which Travis Bartosh took over his role in 2016 and is the station's current faculty advisor.
TODAY
Chapman Radio broadcasts 60+ live shows by 100+ amazing DJs every week from Henley Basement. We proudly boast the title of second-oldest student-run organization on-campus.
