It is not clear from this photo how many years of rock n' roll WBRU was celebrating on this sweatshirt. The Star Wars inspired grid suggests it is from the '80s. The guy who sent said that it was "found in the bottom of a bin in Maine".❤️

Our Story

WBRU Media is an American digital media and broadcasting non-profit company based in Providence, RI. With origins as the premier radio station in Southern New England since 1972, WBRU expanded primarily into youth and young adult-focused digital media. WBRU was named the best radio station in the country in a medium size market three years in a row by Billboard and Rolling Stone - the only radio station ever to achieve this. The 360° Black Experience in Sound is a division of WBRU, the oldest college radio station in the country, and is dedicated to amplifying the voices of the black and brown communities. In addition to our signal 101.1 FM, programming is available 24/7 on our website and the WBRU apps for iOS and Android, as well as digital content released on our multimedia platforms.
