WSUM (91.7 MHz FM) is a student radio station in Madison, Wisconsin, affiliated with the University of Wisconsin-Madison. WSUM began in 1997 as an internet-only station before launching a terrestrial signal on February 22, 2002. The station schedule consists of a wide range of music and talk programming servicing the campus and Madison community.
Each year, WSUM puts together a free music festival that is funded through donations and fundraising events. Originally known as Party in the Park and held in James Madison Park, the festival drew bands such as The White Stripes, Andrew WK, ...And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead, and many other bands, especially local bands. In 2007 the festival was moved to the Union terrace and renamed "Snake on the Lake Fest."
