Dolphin Radio began operation in August 2011 on 1610 AM and 96.3 FM under Part 15 of the FCC Rules & Regulations, which allows unlicensed broadcasting at very low power.[2] AM coverage (now off–air) was generally within about two miles of the City Park campus, while the FM signal covered about 50 feet of the Student Life Center.

Delgado Community College applied to the FCC for a Low Power FM (LPFM) license in October 2013 and was granted its license in December 2014.
