History.
WHRB was one of America's first college radio stations, initially signing on as a carrier current station on December 2, 1940. After acquiring funding from "The Harvard Crimson" the station's first call sign was WHCN (Harvard Crimson Network). It broke from the "Crimson" in 1943 and adopted the call sign WHRV (Harvard Radio Voice
as an on-campus station in 1940 until its expanded broadcast on FM radio in 1957. Broadcasting at 95.3 megahertz, WHRB had no ongoing rock music programming until the late 1960s, and students could choose to work only for its existing departments, such as news, jazz, classical music or sports. With the mounting of American counterculture, many students pushed for the inclusion of rock music on their station. The first show, "Good Soup", had one hour of morning broadcast time each week in 1969. In
