Association of College and University Broadcasting Stations

The Association of College and University Broadcasting Stations (ACUBS) was an organization of educational radio stations, created as a result of The Fourth National Radio Conference, held by the U.S. Department of Commerce.[1] It was primarily a "program idea exchange" with 25 total members that occasionally made attempts to rebroadcast programs shared between them.[2] The original constitution for the organization read:

"Believing that radio is in its very nature one of the most important factors in our national and international welfare, we, the representatives of the institutions of higher learning, engaged in educational broadcasting, do associate ourselves together to promote, by mutual cooperation and united effort, the dissemination of knowledge to the end that both the technical and educational feature of broadcasting may be extended to all."[3][4]

It held its first annual conference July 1 and 2 1930 in Columbus, Ohio joining with the Institution of Education by Radio.[5] It eventually changed its name to the National Association of Educational Broadcasters (NAEB) in 1934.[6]
