I came to Atlanta after GPB’s takeover of WRAS, so I don’t know the old station, but I absolutely love GPB’s current programs and daily schedule– Political Rewind in particular

I turned on WRAS 88.5 yesterday right before 6pm to hear 20 minutes of dead air! Maybe YOU GUYS should be the ones applying for internships at WRAS 88.5, because you obviously don’t know how to run this powerful frequency. It’s like a toddler driving a Ferrari. #savewras #AttackOfTheClone

If you’re going to duplicate the programming of an existing station in town, then you have to do something better than your competition. This station plays the same stuff as WABE but with nice long blocks of dead air. What a shame!

I can’t believe they’re wasting taxpayer dollars to cannibalize WABE and kill WRAS. Nobody wants them in Atlanta and they should know that by now.

Gpb you have done the city of Atlanta wrong. You’ve destroyed a valuable art and culture entity with your viewer/​listener supported funds. Shame on You GPB!

Before this weekend, I was worried because there was only ONE station in Atlanta where I could hear «Car Talk» and «Prairie Home Companion» and «Wait Wait Don’t Tell Me» and all the other crappy NPR pabulum that gunks up the radio on the weekends. But now there’s TWO stations!
Thanks, GPB, for silencing diverse and interesting student-​run radio in Atlanta with programming that’s nearly identical to what already exists. You guys are geniuses.

You should be used to the one star reviews by now so I won’t rewrite what has been written so well here. Not worth my time. Shame on you.

What can I say that others have not? This is one of many reasons I am considering taking my education and specialty knowledge to another state. GA has too many backdoor deals that do nothing for the majority and benefits very few – shame on GPB. #savewras

The nightmare is about to happen… GPB is robbing the students of GSU and taking over the WRAS airwaves.
Greed!
Atlanta will get nothing but duplicate programing!
Greed!

Shame on you Public Radio, for destroying a great college radio station that has served and educated the public for so many years.

You steal my WRAS and I steal your stars.
Well, Unilocal makes me give you one star.
But, think of it as one finger.
Yeah, you know which one.

GPB has good programming that is unique and provides a good option for the public.
So does the current student run programming of WRAS.
We do not want GPB on WRAS. We want to keep it 100% student run and programmed.

GPB’s takeover of WRAS 88.5 will be their Waterloo.

GPB has tarnished its reputation. Backroom deal to acquire analog frequency in Atlanta from student-​run WRAS at GSU has left the community aghast.

Great example GPB «adults» are setting for GSU students, devouring one of the best and most diverse stations in the entire country. #SaveWRAS
Boycott GPB.

I’ve never given a one star review before, but the underhanded deal that GPB made with GSU has prompted me to do so.

GREEDY PATHETIC BULLY (GPB)
stealing radio airwaves from students! This is not the kind of behavior contributors want to support. Contributors are trying to fund an organization that ENRICHES community NOT … EXPLOITS IT!
SHAME on Georgia Public Broadcasting for the theft of WRAS 88.5 the 100,000 watt college radio station from the hundreds of students who have been running it over the years since 1971… for what reason? air GPB programming? It’s just nasty business… find your own FM airwaves elsewhere!!!

Until recently, I was a casual viewer of GPB. Unfortunately, GPB and GSU have combined to effectively destroy a cultural icon of Atlanta radio, WRAS Album 88. The takeover leaves a HUGE void in Atlanta radio.
Due to this contract, I have removed GPB stations from my TV and will more than double my donations to any competitor of GPB. If you are considering GPB for viewing or listening and want to contribute money, please reconsider.

I couldn’t possibly say anything good about GPB after the secret deal they made with Georgia State University to take 14 hrs. of prime air time away from GSU’s very influential student run radio station Album 88 to air their own programming. Their arrogance in the face of the student and listener backlash is equally appalling. As a GSU alum and long time album 88 listener I can firmly say that GPB won’t get another dime from my wife or I as long as They’re occupying 88.5 airwaves.

These are the pukes that back stabbed GSU students out of their radio station today. Don’t send these greedy pieces of corporate trash one more dime. Disgraceful!!!
