WHRB

The history of (W) Harvard University Radio Broadcasting goes back to the early 1940s making them one of the oldest college stations in the country.  They began as a carrier current station and used the call letters WHCN and WHRV before settling on the current calls in 1951.  A frequency position shift from 107.1 FM to their current 95.3 FM occurred in the late 1950s.
WHRB primarily plays Classical, Jazz and Indie Rock music as well as Blues and Hip Hop on the weekends.  The Country music program Hillbilly at Harvard has aired since 1948.  The 1,450-watt station is also known for their twice-a-year musical Orgy® periods at the end of each semester.  Orgies are "marathon-style musical programs devoted to a single composer, performer, genre or subject" which sometimes run 24 hours a day for a week or more.
WHRB is licensed to Cambridge, Massachusetts.
