This small sample of newspaper articles, offers a a brief chronological view of the planned expansion of Ball State's WBST reception tower from its initial inception to its lasting impact on the University and the community. The increase on wattage, granted by the FCC in 1971, necessitated the construction of a new radio tower that could provide a stronger signal. However, the location that was chosen conflicted with local zoning laws and debate and controversy ensued as the University went ahead with construction anyway. Spanning much of the 1970s, issues and debates would persist as this seemingly i insignificant tower invited such disputes between Ball State and the City of Muncie.
