WTJU Turns 60

It began in a basement classroom in Cabell Hall – an experiment that grew out of what was then called the Department of Speech and Drama. Now, 60 years later, WTJU has ridden wave after wave of cultural upheavals on its way to becoming a treasured part of the lives of passionate volunteers and listeners on the UVA Grounds, in the Charlottesville community, and, thanks to the increasing power of technology, far, far beyond.
