AN AGREEMENT THAT CHANGED THE COURSE OF WRAS HISTORY…
IN 2014, GEORGIA STATE AND GEORGIA PUBLIC BROADCASTING ANNOUNCED A PARTNERSHIP THAT INVOLVED THIS RADIO STATION, EFFECTIVELY GIVING G-P-B MORE THAN 50-PERCENT OF THE FM PROGRAMMING, BETWEEN 5A-7P SEVEN DAYS A WEEK. 
THAT INCLUDES MORNING AND AFTERNOON DRIVE TIME – KEY PROGRAMMING SLOTS FOR RADIO STATIONS – BOTH COMMERCIAL BROADCASTERS AND AS THIS STATION IS LICENSED AS A – NON-COMMERCIAL, EDUCATIONAL OR N-C-E STATION. 
THE SURPRISE ANNOUCMENT AT THE END OF THE SPRING 2014 SEMESTER (MAY 6) MET WITH CONFUSION, PROTESTS, AND APPEALS. THERE ARE STILL A LOT OF QUESTIONS ABOUT THE MOTIVES AND OUTCOME OF THIS PARTNERSHIP.

WRAS 88.50 The 2014 Agreement

88.50 (Eighty Eight Point Fifty) airs weekly on the Georgia State FM radio station WRAS/Album 88. The program combines my own MA thesis research on the 50 year history of the station with guest DJ slots featuring 'RAS alums. The first female General Manager, Lanie Barrett, talked shop and played music from the station's archives in this clip from the 2 hour program. Music and talk is edited in this clip for timing only.

The 88 Affairs radio program was started to provide news and information to the Georgia State community ad WRAS listeners during the pandemic. This program would air at 7-9p Monday, Wednesday, and Friday directly after NPR/Georgia local news coverage. 88 Affairs was designed to be a seamless transition between national and regional news programming and information specifically for the GSU community. 88 Affairs featured interviews with Georgia State experts from the Public Health School, Law School, Education School. Student Affairs, and Administration. Interviews and program production was done by Andreas Preuss.
