General Information
WPRB inspires and informs the culturally curious through freeform programming in order to amplify independent artistic expression and foster authentic human connection, so that creativity shall not perish from this Earth. We welcome all who support our mission, regardless of identity, such as race, sex, ethnicity, national origin, or other protected characteristics.
We are a community-supported, non-profit 501(c)3, commercially-licensed station. Our 14,000 watt transmitter is located in Princeton, New Jersey, and our signal reaches Wilmington, DE, Philadelphia, PA, northern NJ and beyond. Online, listen.wprb.com carries our programming to listeners all around the globe.
Our Programming
WPRB is committed to highlighting cutting edge, uncommon, and boundary pushing aesthetics. We specialize in the weird, the unlistenable, the engaging, the quirky, the offbeat, and, sometimes, the lovely. We are freeform, meaning each DJ has free reign to play whatever they want on air–there is no rotation schedule or Top 40 quotas for us. We pride ourselves on a variety of programming–what you hear show-to-show and week-to-week represents every far-flung corner of the auditory universe. An average day at the station features cutting edge bands from local and international scenes, “challenging” music like industrial, noise, and musique concrète, micro-genre and label deep dives, interviews and live sets, and everything in between.
Our Staff
WPRB is a volunteer-run radio station, managed by students of Princeton University, with support from a Board of Trustees and an educational advisor. All DJs are volunteers, hailing from all over the Delaware Valley.
