WHRB to Begin Extensive Program Overhaul

* Radio station to include national news, on air interviews in its upcoming changes

"We want people to feel they can contribute to what we do," Pollak said.

WHRB began airing daily traffic reports this past week.

The station was originally the Crimson News Network, available only on the Harvard campus. Today the station's audience encompasses the entire greater Boston area.

"It's interesting to try to integrate the student perspective into a broader scale," Wei said.

The station relocated to its current space in the basement of Pennypacker Hall from the basement of Memorial Hall in the summer of 1995.

Wei said that the move "disrupted the station" and that the news department "specifically faced a problem trying to rebuild the programming it had once done."

Krupnick added that "much progress has been made in the last semester."

Pollak said the station is working toward a new set of goals.

"We want to upgrade to National Public Radio quality," he said.
