Norm Prusslin came to Stony Brook in the late 1960s and was immediately drawn to the radio station. WUSB was then an AM station heard only in the dorms and building on campus. But there was music in the air, not the least of which was coming from the vibrant concerts given on campus by the likes of Jimi Hendrix, the Doors, and others.

Thus began Norm’s long association with the station, which included its transition to the FM channel as well as a number of thorny issues before the FCC.

In this interview, Norm describes the growth of WUSB and what goes into the care and feeding of a college radio station.
