Harvard's own WHRB 95.3 FM will be featured this fall on a British Broadcasting Corp. (BBC) radio program showcasing five American college radio stations.
The broadcasting service last spring began soliciting tapes of broadcasts from college radio stations. WHRB submitted tapes of shows that originally aired in May, and was chosen from a pool of broadcasts from around the United States.
For the show itself, however, WHRB sent the BBC a compendium of classical, jazz and rock music programming that originally aired on Sept. 18 and 19.
Nathaniel Baum-Snow '98, former director of classical music at WHRB, said he felt that the quality and variety of the WHRB program led to its selection.
"We try to fill a void in radio by playing good music that does not make the cut at commercial stations that are afraid of turning off listeners," Baum-Snow said.
Nitin Nayar '98, president of WHRB, said he was very pleased with WHRB's stations in America.
"I am extremely proud of all the members of our radio station, past and present, because the quality of our air is a reflection of the progression of our efforts over the past 20 years," Nayar said.
