| WCBE CELEBRATES 55 YEARS ON THE AIR |
|---|
Columbus, OH - September 26, 2011 – This year marks the 55th anniversary of 90.5 FM, WCBE. Since 1956, WCBE has served the central Ohio community with quality public radio programming: world, national and local news, diverse music programming, and a variety of other shows that entertain, inform, and keep listeners in touch with our community.
“I’m amazed at how far we’ve come in five-and-a-half decades,” reports general manager Dan Mushalko. “Yet, through it all, our founding mission to serve our community holds strong.”
WCBE began as an educational tool of the Columbus City Schools, airing local shows one to five and half hours every weekday. WCBE evolved from a classroom-based station to a non-commercial, classical music station in 1967. In 1970, it became a charter member station of National Public Radio (NPR). Then, in 1990, the station transitioned from classical music to a unique Adult Album Alternative music format. Currently, WCBE is an NPR affiliate, broadcasting twenty four hours a day, seven days a week. |
