I believe Yale University still owns and operates WNHC-AM/New Haven. 
 They obtained the station as part of the deal that allowed Cox to sell 
airtime on Yale's other station WYBC-FM, which is commercially licenced 
like WBRU and WHRB.  When WYBC went satellite Urban AC for most of the 
day in the mid 90's, many of the student DJ's wound up over at WNHC.  I 
don't know if that is still the arrangement at Yale, or if the AM 
station wound up being sold off.
