WZIS-FM (90.7 FM, Z90.7) is the student radio station at Indiana State University in Terre Haute, Indiana. The broadcast studio is located on-campus on the third floor of Dreiser Hall, while the antenna is located across the Wabash in West Terre Haute, Indiana.

The staff consists of many dedicated volunteer staff and paid directors, which include undergraduate and graduate students, as a faculty staff advisor. [2]
