Station News: May 17th, 2012

First 2012 Update (February 12, 2012)

It has been a very eventful year here at Radio Station WWRB. A significant amount of work has been done at the station to enhance our capabilities, including the addition of a new network infrastructure, a new audio production chain, and a custom audio processing, leveling, and equalization system for all streaming and transmitted audio. New power tubes have been installed in all of our transmitters and our WWRBOnline service has received significant upgrades in capacity and ability.

In our first round of website updates for 2012, the station Program Guide section has become the new Times & Schedules section. This revised section incorporates both the station program guide and our transmission schedule for ease of use and perusal. Our Coverage Maps page has been updated to show the significantly expanded coverage areas of our antenna systems as determined through computer modeling and over 15 years of listener feedback.

It has been our pleasure serving both out listeners and broadcasters throughout the year 2011, and we look forward to providing the same quality service in the year 2012.


Winter Broadcast Schedule Beginning (August 17, 2011)

Starting September 1st, 2011, Radio Station WWRB starts the winter broadcast season using the frequencies 3.215 MHz and 3.195 MHz. It is very important to note that during the winter broadcast season, any shortwave broadcast station located in the western hemisphere of the earth may suffer from excessive signal skip, and may not be able to supply reliable coverage to your intended audience using frequencies over 4.000 MHz.

Radio Station WWRB currently has several prime-time nighttime slots available for broadcasters on 3.215 MHz and 3.195 MHz. If you would like to optimize your ministry or radio program's coverage, our frequency coordinators can help. For your convenience, you can contact them seven nights per week between 8:00 pm - 12:00 am Eastern Time at (931) 563-3783 or (931) 728-6087.
