WPRB recently upgraded its power and covers most of Philadelphia.  WPRB was  
also the City Paper's "IN" station of the year.  The "OUT" station shall remain  
nameless.  WPRB's request line is (609) 258-1033, which you can also call to  
win tickets to lots of concerts.

                 Remember:  WPRB - RADIO THAT DOESN'T SUCK!

"Truley innovative radio?" Im sure you guys have a real inovative way
of paying the bills? Let me make something clear to you.  You are not what you own
 or for that matter how you pay the bills.  Im sure if we had COMMERCIALS in
our programming, the FCC would be more willing to increase our power but you see,
we are what college radio is all about (NON COMMERCIAL).  No, we may not have 30,000
watts of power, but we dont have companies paying us money either. Besides, how can 
you possibly
compare a 30,000 watt station to one of 110 watts? It looks like you really
have something to live up to with that "In in 1992", 30,000 watts and all that
cash flow.  Why not try supporting real college radio; Fully student run 
and no commercials. We may have to try a lot harder to keep up the station
with little or no funds, but we sure as hell take a lot more pride in our work.

Now you see why so many people don't listen to _either_ of your stations.  If
you don't have the maturity to concentrate on improving your own stations, 
rather than attacking other stations, you really aren't worth the listen.
This is phl.music, not alt.college.radio.wars.  Don't waste everyone else's
time with your little quibble - take it to mail, _please_.
