WDUQ is a public radio jazz and news station based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The station, which is operated by Duquesne University, broadcasts at 90.5 MHz with an ERP of 25kw. WDUQ is a full member station of National Public Radio and is also affiliated with Public Radio International and American Public Media. WDUQ is the most listened-to public radio outlet in Pittsburgh [1].
WDUQ began broadcasting on December 15, 1949 as a student laboratory on the Duquesne University campus, exposing students to new technology and giving local audiences access to cultural programs and information. As each decade passed, WDUQ evolved as public radio grew and changed across the United States.
Today, WDUQ is the home of the popular NPR news programs such as Morning Edition and All Things Considered as well as Car Talk and other programs. The station also has a significant local and regional news effort, including in-depth coverage of a variety of issues. The station also produces and distributes programming heard on public radio stations nationwide.
Like many public radio stations, the majority of WDUQ's funding comes from donations from individuals [2].
In 1976, the station began carrying the programming of the newly-formed Radio Information Service, a reading service for the visually impaired and print-handicapped on a sub-carrier channel. WDUQ entered into a management agreement to handle RIS's day-to-day business operations in late 2005
In 2006, WDUQ began to improve its signal strength to several distant communities. A broadcast translator relays a signal to FM 100.5 in Johnstown, Pennsylvania, FM 104.1 in Somerset, Pennsylvania, FM 92.3 in New Baltimore, Pennsylvania serving the Pennsylvania Turnpike ,and FM 104.1 in Ligonier, Pennsylvania.
