WRBB vs. WNEU

[Aaron Read <aread@speakeasy.net>]

Quick question for the history buffs - does anyone know why Northeastern's 
radio station is called WRBB instead of WNEU?   I've looked it up and 
there's no WNEU AM or FM currently.   Was there one when WRBB got its Class 
D license (I assume they started as a carrier-current way back in the day)?

I think that's what happened to WMFO...there was already a WTUR (Taylor 
University has it now, I suppose they had it then, too).  I spotted a 
handful of WTUR/Tufts bumper stickers around the station when I volunteered 
there.   Either that, or the station decided that when they went from Class 
D to Class A, they served all of Medford and therefore should have calls to 
reflect that?
