WCBN, the UofM student-run radio station and one of the longest-running freeform radio stations in the country, will broadcast live from the Work Gallery on 88.3fm in Ann Arbor as well as on its stream at www.wcbn.org. Beginning as a collaboration of stations at East Quad, South Quad, and West Quad, the Campus Broadcasting Network was born in 1952 as WCBN-AM 650. In 1972, WCBN found its way to FM at 89.5, and, in 1977, the station found its current home at the far left of the fm dial. Since its inception, WCBN has emphasized alternative broadcasting-- challenging what the medium of radio can do. WCBN broadcasts
24 hours every day and seven days every week.

Come and WATCH the radio as we celebrate "one of WCBN's most treasured sources of freeform experimentation, musical knowledge, institutional memory, irony, honesty, humor."--Liz Wason, former WCBN GM
