About the Station

Meet the Staff

WMEB 91.9 FM is staffed entirely by students, except for our Station Supervisor. Whether it’s fixing a broken mic in the studio, organizing the station’s physical media, or planning events for the student body, each staff member plays an important role in keeping our beloved station up and running. We also have unique insight to help with any questions or ideas you may have, so shoot us an email anytime!
