Classical (was: Fairbanks WKLB/WCLB & WCRB

[Rob Landry]

I happen to serve on WHRB's board of trustees. WHRB is student-operated 
and non-profit, but it has a commercial license and sells ads to pay its 
bills.

The music is chosen by students, and while they have some guidelines they 
are largely free to program what they choose. The station is also managed 
by students; the Board of Trustees holds the license. The University does 
not own WHRB or support it beyond allowing it to maintain studios on 
campus. The transmitter site is in downtown Boston, paid for out of 
advertising revenue.
