One difference I think is that the typical college radio stations
transmit on fairly weak transmitters, so they don't have the coverage

I sometimes listen to WFMU, which used to be a college station, and
was where I got most of my radio listening done. But that was over 12
years ago. At the time that station struck me as unusually good...

WKCR did play a lot of really good outside material after midnight. In
recent times it's not been anywhere near as good.
Thing about WFMU is that if you don't like what you hear, tune it in
fifteen minutes later and it's likely to be radically different.
Except of course for the "this is so bad it's hip" material they seem
prone to at times (and I say this as a loyal listener and supporter, who
also appeared as a guest on the air a number of times back in the late
70s and 80s).
