  • WSWI (820 AM) is a non-commercial educational radio station licensed to Evansville, Indiana, United States, carrying an alternative rock format known as "95.7 The Spin". Owned by the Board of Trustees of the University of Southern Indiana (USI), the campus radio station has studios and a transmitter site that are both located on the USI campus in Evansville. WSWI operates during the daytime hours only, thus in addition to a standard analog transmission, the station's format is broadcast continuously via a simulcast over the HD2 digital subchannel of WPSR and a relay over low-power analog translator W239CI (95.7 FM), along with being available online. It was established in 1947 as WIKY, the first station owned by Evansville-based South Central Broadcasting. The WIKY stations were successful, broadcasting mostly easy listening music. However, as music listenership shifted to FM, in 1981 South Central opted to buy a more successful AM station and donated the 820 kHz facility to the university, which relaunched it as a student-run station serving its communications program.
