From Free net encyclopedia
Template:Infobox Radio Station WBUR is the largest of three NPR member stations in Boston, Massachusetts. It produces several nationally distributed programs, including Car Talk, Here and Now, Only a Game, and On Point. It previously produced The Connection (which was canceled on August 5, 2005).
The station license is held by Boston University. WBUR bills itself as "Boston's NPR news station." The station has, since 2004, been embroiled in several management scandals, the first of which resulted in the departure of the long time station manager.
WBUR is also the owner/operator of WBUR-AM, 1240 kHz in West Yarmouth, MA and the Rhode Island Public Radio Stations WRNI, 1290 kHz, in North Providence, RI and WXNI, 1310 kHz in Westerly, RI. Programming is also carried through Local Marketing Agreements on WCCT, 90.3 MHz in Harwich, MA and WSDH, 91.5 MHz in Sandwich, MA.
