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.

“He could jazz up the map-reading class by having a full-size color photograph of Betty Grable in a bathing suit, with a co- ordinate grid system laid over it. The instructor could point to different parts of her and say, “Give me the co-ordinates.”... The Major could see every unit in the Army using his idea.... Hot dog!”
—Norman Mailer (b. 1923)
