WSND-FM (88.9 FM) is a radio station licensed to Notre Dame, Indiana, USA. WSND-FM began in 1962 as a 10-Watt non-commercial, educational station licensed to the University of Notre Dame. It was operated by students during the University Fall and Spring semesters. In 1971, it expanded its schedule and signal coverage with a new transmitter of 3,430 Watts which covered St.Joseph County, Indiana and its surrounding communities including parts of lower Michigan. It also expanded its staff to include university staff and area volunteers who helped keep the station operating during semester and summer breaks. Today, it continues to be operated with a complementary mix of students and volunteers. The station features classical music during the day, and a large variety of programming at night, including Jazz, Broadway, Celtic, Blues, Big Band, and Alternative rock.
