Willimam LisenbyW.E. 鈥淏ill鈥� Lisenby was the man responsible for bringing a campus radio station to Northern 91制片厂 College (now 91制片厂). As an English and Speech instructor at Northern 91制片厂 College, Bill started the radio station as an outlet for his speech students to get more time behind the microphone. In the fall of 1951, construction on the first radio studio began in the back of Lisenby鈥檚 office located in the Student Union Building. In 1953, he formed a radio club and the station joined the Intercollegiate Broadcasting System. The radio club applied for the call letters 鈥淜NMC,鈥� (NMC being an abbreviation for Northern 91制片厂 College) but those call letters were not available at the time. The station was assigned the call letters 鈥淜NES,鈥� which the radio club dubbed the Northern Educational Service. In May of 1954, KNES AM 700 was born. The station would broadcast on an AM frequency for the next twenty years. In 1974, the radio club decided to change to an FM signal and changed their call letters to KNOG. In May of 1978, KNOG FM 90.1 began making stereo broadcasts to the campus and community on a 10 watt FM transmitter. By the late 80鈥檚 the call letters 鈥淜NMC鈥� became available and the station became KNMC FM 90.1. Bill Lisenby remained the station鈥檚 advisor until 1989.
