WHRB now has a live-performance studio, so artists can play directly to the radio audience. A newly beefed-up news department will also broadcast November 8 election coverage.
"We are the only Harvard radio station, so we will have access to distinguished speakers at the University," Barylski says.
The station has patched things up with Epps as well.
"We dealt with the situation to the satisfaction of both the station and the University," says station manager Peter E. Rojas '97.
No special restrictions will be in place for WHRB's new space, the dean says. "Just the regular rules shall apply," he adds.
Rojas says alumni did not impinge on students' management of the station.
"WHRB has always been student-run and always will be," the manager says. "Alumni are in charge of planning. The alumni have not and will not influence programming."
The station also looks to expand its not Harvard listenership soon. Next year, WHRB will move its transmitter from the present site atop Holyoke Center to One Financial Center in downtown Boston.
"The FCC [Federal Communication Commission] has approved the move...which shall decrease our wattage, increase our height and increase our listening audience by a million people," Rassen says.
The fundraising for the move is still ongoing, and though money has been such a problem in the past, Rojas is optimistic.
"Personally I believe WHRB is back on the road to bigger and better things," the station manager says. "I've visited other stations around the country and what we have now is far and away much better."
