LEARN ABOUT WRGW'S HISTORY! (cont.)

While the students voiced their desire for independence from any one department in order to serve the larger constituency of the greater GW community, the department stated its primary goal of formally educating students in the technical operation of a radio facility.  After negotiations, it was decided that the campus should have two stations, one operated by the department, WRTV, and one by the students.  In late 1986, WRGW signed an agreement with the University whereby WRGW would exist and operate in Marvin Center room 428.



In the late 1990�s, students, anxious to move from the small and obscure location on the fourth floor of the Marvin Center, began discussions with administrators to move to the abandoned newsstand on the ground floor of the Marvin Center.  WRTV merged with WRGW in the late 1990�s to combine a professional atmosphere run by the students for the students.  In 1999, after the hard work of many GW students, WRGW found its new home in the ground floor of the Marvin Center where we still broadcast, today.
