Information about Wprb

WPRB (103.3 FM) is a commercial, non-profit 14,000 watt radio station, once part of Princeton University, broadcasting from Princeton, New Jersey. The majority of air and management staff consists of Princeton University students, in addition to a board of trustees formed by Princeton University alumni. Its broadcast consists mostly of independent rock, classical, jazz, and world music; WPRB also provides coverage of many of Princeton University's varsity sporting events. It was founded as WPRU in 1940 by H. Grant Theis, a Princeton University student at the time. It became WPRB in 1955, and in that same year it became an FM station, making it the first college FM station in the United States. WPRB was also a pioneer in FM Stereo broadcasting, transmitting a stereo signal beginning in 1964. In 1986, Spin Magazine named WPRB the best commercial college station in the country. It is a full class B signal that covers part of both the Central New Jersey and Philadelphia markets. The close proximity to 103.5 WKTU in New York may cause reception interference from the New Brunswick/Edison areas and further north/east. WARM, a soft rock format station which covers the Lancaster/Harrisburg area, can cause interference as it is also at 103.3.
