Yet this station, the radio voice of Brandeis University is a welcome relief from the slick overprogrammed junk filling the commercial airwaves. WBRS provides a bit of everything for its listeners. In the mornings there is contemporary rock music, especially some of the older punk stuff and edgy independent tunes that other stations are afraid to play. Later on a listener might hear ethnic, folk, or reggae or, perhaps some sports talk from a couple of college students. It's eclectic and creative, with an emphasis on content. While most radio stations are constrained by a tightly programmed format WBRS breaks free from these bounds. It's a reminder of how smaller stations can be more entertaining than the children of media powerhouses. Only reason it loses one star is because of its low-power transmitter.

::cough:: ::cough:: 87.7 FM ::cough::…read more I have a love/hate relationship with this station. It might be the best programmed non-college urban formatted station in Boston ever. Generally the format is the more commercial sounding which will drive you nuts. There's only so much Lil Wayne, Nicki Minaj and Rick Ross one can take. I hate Rick Ross btw. At any rate, Boston hiphop alumni Edo G hosts a dope sunday show that focuses on indy/rootsy hiphop. Another Boston hiphop alum Jeff 2X (formerly Def Jeff from Almighty RSO/Made Men/Hangmen 3) is also in the building here. The saturday dancehall show is straight up insanity too. The downside (at times) is the screaming. Every single DJ screams at this station. Sometimes the energy is there but a lot of the time its just annoying. Also, they bang through mixes very quickly at times playing only one minute of a track. This is annoying especially if they put on your joint and you're like.... awww shhhhh thats my jam!!! ... but then.... its GONE and they go into another Rick Ross song. UGH! Also, dont believe all their screamy hype - not every DJ in their roster is dope. A couple need to work on their mic sets and practice scratching with serrato at home to perfect it before hitting the airwaves.
