WXSU-LP is the student-run radio station at Salisbury University in Salisbury, Maryland.[3] The station, formerly known as WSUR, was forced to change call letters when registering with the FCC because of an existing television station with those call letters in Puerto Rico. WXSU-LP first went live to the Salisbury community in 2005 with a low power, 100 watt signal. The station currently operates during the Fall and Spring semesters from Late August to Mid-May.

WXSU-LP is considered a "Big 6 Student Organization" at Salisbury University because it is one of the six top student organizations that receives block funding from the university. The station can be picked up around the Salisbury area and the studio is located in the Guerrieri University Center.[4] The station is also available on the campus cable system in partnership with SUTV[5] on channel 7-6 and 8-1. WXSU-LP broadcasts online streaming as of August 2013 on UStream. WXSU-LP works closely with the campus community and Registered Student Organizations (RSO's) to provide DJ services and promotions for meaningful events. WXSU-LP is celebrating 40 years[6] as a student-run radio organization from its beginning as WSSC in 1974. The first broadcast date of WSSC was November 6, 1974[7] and the first song to be played was "Enter the Young" by the Association.[7]
