The Internet and digital music’s portability have transformed radio stations like Bates’ WRBC\u2013FM<\/a>, celebrating its 50th year of FCC-approved existence.<\/p>\n

“People don’t listen to hear a specific song,” says publicity director Doug Ray ’10 of Pittsburgh. “They listen to find something new.” In that spirit, 10 WRBC jocks offer their suggestions, below.<\/p>\n
