WXRB

WXRB is a non-commercial, educational radio station located in Dudley, Massachusetts. Its studios and transmitting facilities are located on the campus of Nichols College, which previously owned the station as WNRC-FM until a stronger signal at 97.5 FM signed on in February 2005. The college later sold the 95.1 FM frequency to Peter Q. George, the station's engineer, who had been programming 95.1 after the frequency swap. The station is named for XERB-AM, the famous 50,000 watt Mexican "Border Blaster" radio station from which famous disc jockey Wolfman Jack broadcast in the mid-1960s and early 1970s. George has said that he is a lifelong fan of Wolfman Jack. WXRB, features a 24/7 automated all-oldies format, in Stereo, focusing on the years 1954-1979, similar to the original "R-KO-matic" automated music format at WRKO-FM and WROR in Boston, Massachusetts. On Saturday nights from 9:00 PM until midnight, WXRB presents some of the lesser heard oldies, including the sound of Doo-Wop from the 1950s and early '60s on "Saturday Night Extra Gold". The station also features old-time radio shows on "FM Flashback!"
