Starting tomorrow, WHRB 95.3 FM, Harvard's student-run radio station, will move into the Internet age-- broadcasting live 24 hours a day via the World Wide Web.

The Web site, www.whrb.org, will offer live Internet streaming of WHRB's broadcast of classical music, jazz, underground rock and campus activities.

WHRB President Alexandra J. McCormack '00 said the station's managers think they can greatly expand its listener base by broadcasting over the Internet.

"We feel we offer a unique program, and that people around the world will come to us when they know we're available," she said.

Live Internet broadcasting has been in the organization's long-term plans for awhile, McCormack said. It was just a matter of finding a company to provide audio streaming at a low cost.

WarpRadio, a Colorado-based start-up company, was just what WHRB needed. In exchange for four 60-second advertisements per day on the station, which equals about $6,000 a month, the company is providing the audio streaming free of cost, she said.

The new format will not change the station's content, McCormack said. WHRB will continue to broadcast the same music and selected campus speakers, including the weekly Memorial Church service.

The station cannot, however, announce Harvard sports, or the New York Metropolitan Opera, becayse it doesn't have the rights to broadcast either on the Internet.
