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.

WRAS 88.50 The 2014 Agreement

WRAS' very first moments of broadcast January 1971"

"There are those that mistrust student expression, I am not one of those."
Students Are as likely to express themselves as well as any other group of citizens. The students on WRAS radio station at Georgia State, can hardly do worse than many people have done on radio stations that you and I have heard over the years."
