Well, according to this clipping in the Boston Herald from 26 February 
1950, "A three year dream of Professor Samuel Gould, head of the radio 
division at Boston University's School of Public Relations, will be 
realized next Wednesday when the university's own radio station, WBUR, goes 
into operation.  The 400 watt frequency modulation station, New England's 
most powerful educational outlet of its type, will be heard for the first 
time Wednesday at 90.9 megacycles on Channel 215.  Its first program will 
be a special two hour dedication.  Thereafter, WBUR will be heard without 
commercials, Monday through Friday from 2 to 8 pm..."
