About

WRBB is a non-commercial, non-profit, free-form station run by students at Northeastern University in Boston providing the surrounding areas with a musical diversity not available on any of Boston’s commercial stations. In addition to an eclectic mix of shows, all major Northeastern basketball, baseball, and hockey games are also broadcasted live. WRBB first began broadcasting on December 13, 1962 as WNEU, a carrier current station which reached only two dormitories. In 1970 the the station moved to FM and changed its call letters to WRBB (RBB standing for Radio Back Bay). An FCC ruling forced the station to move to its current frequency of 104.9 in 1982. WRBB is a Class D non-commercial radio station licensed by the Federal Communications Commission that transmits from the campus of Northeastern University. We also hold general interest meetings at the start of the fall and spring semesters if you want to be a part of our media, podcast, tech, or events teams! Finally, we offer a limited number of paid work-study positions each semester. Reach out to the operations director if interested.
