WBRU360, now a 24/7 stream, started in 1974 as "Music for the People", a show on Sundays that pioneered radio for the African-American audience in Providence. The show later expanded to run the whole day. At the time of this T-shirt, the show was known as "The 360° Black Experience in Sound". Hat tip, Cecelia for the photo.

New music this week on the playlist and the radio: "Sympathy Magic" (dramatic, emotional) from Florence + The Machine's new LP and "Dopamine" is a indie dance banger from Robyn. The details are on our chart, including the return of a Royel Otis favorite that got squeezed out because they had so many other great songs.

Lots of ways you can enjoy the music, pick what's best for you:

David said that he found this in a thrift store around 1993. historians date this artifact back to 1972! The skyline does seem to be missing a skyscraper.

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.
