Old Walla Walla Radio Remembered 32--KGTS In College Place

The headline is kind of a misnomer, because KGTS is still around.  It is the campus radio station of Walla Walla University.  I did not listen to it much, because it has played classical music and religious programming.  Walla Walla University, after all, is a Seventh Day Adventist institution.  

KGTS began operating in 1963.  Whitman would establish KWCW at a later date.

It is ironic that Walla Walla University is in College Place and is not far from the site of the Whitman Mission.  Whitman College is in the heart of Walla Walla and is non-sectarian.  However, Whitman was church affiliated in it's early years.  

Walla Walla also has a community college, which as far as I  know, has no radio station.
