Mako Radio
Set in a fast-paced and high-energy environment, NSU's Mako Radio is a unique non-commercial student-managed radio station that broadcasts live from 6:00 p.m. to midnight to the tri-county area on 88.5 FM. You can also catch us 24/7 online. Just visit Mako Radio to stream it live. Mako Radio's state-of-the-art studio is housed on NSU’s main campus, on the first floor of the Rosenthal Student Center.
Mako Radio was started in August 1990 by a group of ambitious students determined to bring and official college radio station to the South Florida scene. It began as a cable-based station broadcasting solely to students residing on campus. Today Mako Radio reaches far beyond the boundaries of NSU, and includes Broward and portions of West Palm Beach and Dade counties. According to Arbitron, Mako Radio at 88.5 FM draws 1 percent of local listeners at any given time. And thanks to 24-hour Web streaming their reach now expands to other cities and countries.
