WFMU was originally the station of the defunct Upsala College (E. Orange, NJ) when it came on the air over 50 years ago. A number of years before Upsala College closed its doors, WFMU "seceded" from the college, and became an independent community station.
Independent community station WCUW in Worcester similarly "seceded" from Clark University many years ago.
WPKN 89.5 in Bridgeport, CT, was affiliated with the University of Bridgeport until it "seceded" when the school was taken over by an arm of Sun Myung Moon's Unification Church.
