You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 54.163.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 17:28, 10 March 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''WXAV''' (88.3 [[FM broadcasting|FM]]) is the college radio station of [[Saint Xavier University]] in Chicago. WXAV serves the south and southwest side of [[Chicago, Illinois]] and its surrounding suburbs. WXAV has its studios located inside the radio station building. The building is nearby the Mercy Meeting Place.

==History==
WXAV was started in 1977 by Saint Xavier student Chuck Floramo. Originally a wired radio station that could only be heard in Saint Xavier's cafeteria, WSXC as it was known, went on the air playing the hits of the day. In the early 1990s, WSXC became a licensed radio station with the FCC and changed its call letters to WXAV and would broadcast for 12 hours a day.

From 1996-1998 Musician & Comedian [http://www.DavidVoxMullen.com David Vox Mullen] became the station's Music Director and had a weekly on-air call-in comedy show (even though he himself was never a student of the university).

In August 2002 WXAV began to broadcast 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, when WBBM's Kris Kridel relaunched the radio station in an official ceremony.<ref>[http://www.sxu.edu/Administrative/Media_Relations/Press_Releases/press_release_08232002b.asp Kris Kridel addresses students]</ref>

In September 2010 Paste Magazine ran a poll and article discussing the 40 best low wattage radio stations in the country. WXAV was named to the list in the category of best stations that broadcast at 150 watts.<ref>[http://www.pastemagazine.com/blogs/lists/2010/09/the-best-little-radio-stations-in-the-us.html?p=2 Paste Magazine]</ref>

==Format==
The station's music format is officially registered as "alternative," but this title does not resemble the commercial radio format of the same name. The station's music is hand-picked by DJs on air and also takes in listener requests. The music tends to be rock music from the 1960s on, including metal, punk, indie, and industrial, with specialty programs throughout the week that feature Jazz and Classical music. WXAV has been playing local and unsigned bands since its inception.

==Public affairs programming==
God Matters which is produced in conjunction with the Sisters of Mercy, who founded Saint Xavier University.

==Sports==
WXAV airs Saint Xavier University athletics including Cougar Football and Basketball. For a complete schedule of Saint Xavier University sporting events go to WXAV's official sports [http://www.wxav.com/ page]

Beginning in 2009, WXAV became the official radio home of The Windy City ThunderBolts of the Frontier League announced in an official press.<ref>[http://www.sxu.edu/Administrative/Media_Relations/news_story.asp?iNewsID=950&strBack=%2FAdministrative%2FMedia_Relations%2FPress_Releases%2Fpress_releases_2009.asp WXAV/Thunderbolts Press]</ref> In 2009 and again in 2010, WXAV broadcast 55 out of 96 regular season games, and in 2010 broadcast all of the Windy City ThunderBolts' playoff games. 
The play by play announcer for the 2010 season was WXAV alumni and former Sports Director Terry Bonadonna
