Everything about Wbaa totally explained
WBAA is the callsign for two
radio stations owned by
Purdue University in
West Lafayette, Indiana--an
AM station at 920 kHz and an
FM station at 101.3 mHz. Both broadcast from studios in the
Edward C. Elliott Hall of Music on the Purdue campus, and the transmitters are located in
Lafayette, Indiana.
WBAA-AM is the longest continuously-operating radio station in
Indiana, having been licensed on
April 4,
1922. A fire in
1929 took WBAA-AM off the air for several months. During the day, its 5,000-watt signal reaches a potential audience of 2.5 million people, including the fringes of the
Indianapolis area.
WBAA-FM began broadcasting in 1993. It is one of the few NPR stations located on a commercial frequency.
Programming
AM 920 WBAA airs a mixture of
NPR and local news/talk programming during the day. Evenings are set aside for music programming with adult album alternative music program,
World Cafe, beginning at 7pm with traditional
jazz filling up the remainder of the overnight schedule. Weekends consist of similar programming plus ethnic and local music programming on Sunday nights.
FM 101.3, WBAA-FM, simulcasts its AM sister in the morning and late afternoon to broadcast popular
NPR talk programs such as
Morning Edition,
All Things Considered, and
Marketplace.
Classical music can be heard at all other times.
WBAA also has a strong growing local news initiative.
Staff
WBAA employs Tim Singleton as its general manager. The radio station has a general staff of about 20 news reporters and on-air hosts, comprising many full time professionals and multiple
Purdue University students.
