Help WRUR Keep Independent College Radio Alive

Posted on December 1, 2020 by

WRUR 88.5 is raising money for a new FM setup to replace our current board, used since the ‘90s. Sole ownership of this new board will make our radio station more independent, as well as helping to maintain the university’s long history of campus broadcasting.
