Robert Morris University will launch RMUradio.com, a student-run online campus radio station, on Monday.

Based at the Moon campus' Academic Media Center, the station -- at www.rmuradio.com -- will feature music, news, sports and specialty programming, including a call-in sports show, Hispanic music, poetry and simulcasts of programming from campus cable station RMU-TV.

Robert Morris seniors Dan Murtha and Ron Hendrickson launched an Internet station in 2006 and approached the university with the idea of starting an official campus station.

During Monday's ribbon-cutting ceremony, the station will broadcast from noon to 2 p.m. It may be several weeks before the full programming schedule begins. Eventually, it will broadcast about 10 hours of programming a day, with students as hosts.
