The site, in 1998
The student-run radio station of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, broadcasting around the clock on FM and online.
On 7 November 1994, DJ Michael Shoffner set up its internet simulcast through ibiblio, widely considered the world's first internet radio broadcast. The FM station itself went on air in March 1977.
Boom era, 1995 to 1998. Netscape, frames, hit counters and animated envelopes. Everyone had a homepage, and every homepage was under construction.
The Establishment: Governments, universities, libraries and archives. Very official.
