Intercollegiate Broadcasting System (IBS) is an organization of over 1000 non-profit, education-affiliated radio stations (and webcasters).
Founded in 1940, IBS is headquartered in New Windsor, New York, with a legal office in Washington, D.C., and frequently represents its members with FCC negotiations, copyright issues, and litigation.
In 2006, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) reported that there were 2,533 noncommercial educational radio stations, out of a total of 13,525 USA radio stations. However, most do not affiliate nationally, and IBS represents over 90% of those that do. IBS is also a member of the National Association of Broadcasters.

Famous quotes containing the words broadcasting and/or system:
“We spend all day broadcasting on the radio and TV telling people back home what’s happening here. And we learn what’s happening here by spending all day monitoring the radio and TV broadcasts from back home.”
—P.J. (Patrick Jake)
“As long as learning is connected with earning, as long as certain jobs can only be reached through exams, so long must we take this examination system seriously. If another ladder to employment was contrived, much so-called education would disappear, and no one would be a penny the stupider.”
—E.M. (Edward Morgan)
