Bulls Media, formerly Bulls Radio, is the University of South Florida's student-run media station. Previously Bulls radio was broadcast on 1620 kHz on the USF campus and was the first college station to be carried on an HD Radio sub-channel, when it occupied WMNF's HD-2 channel from July 2009-July 2014. The station also has an Internet audio stream.[1]
The station is Florida's largest student-run radio station, and the entire operation of the station is by student workers and volunteers.[1] The station is funded by the USF Student Government, and the station office and on-air studio are in the university's Marshall Student Center.
The station was started in 1988, and began its AM broadcasting in 1999. It began receiving funding in 2003.[1]
In 2019 Bulls Radio was Rebranded to Bulls Media. Bulls Media dropped the radio station and what was built was a state of the art production studio. Ranging from podcasts, music production, and a space for live music recording. Bulls Media also offers DJ services, to DJ events for student organizations as well as one-on-one free DJ lessons free for students. Bulls Media also has their H.Y.P.E (Helping you promote events) graphic design services, which is free graphic design services for all USF student organizations.
