The station was founded by Lowell, Massachusetts native Simon Geller (c.1920-July 11, 1995). After working in radio in New Jersey, Geller moved to Gloucester in 1964 because, he told a reporter, it was the biggest town on
frequency changed to the current 104.9, due to interference from other stations and FCC rulings. Despite its signal coverage within Boston, its 104.9 frequency collides with nearby WBOQ, which covers the North Shore area.
In addition to variety of music played, all major Northeastern basketball, baseball and hockey games are also broadcast live on WRBB. It was one of the first college radio stations in the country to broadcast hip-hop music during the early 1980s.
