And WTBS the radio station was also purchased by Ted Turner!

It was originally "Tech Broadcasting Service" and run by an MIT student group.

For the $50k purchase, the newly-named WMBR purchased a new transmitter.

I never knew this.

Also if you're in the Boston/Cambridge area, WMBR is a fun and weird listen and clearly sounds like college radio when compared to something like WERS.

Wmbr is great. I always assumed it was “Walker Memorial Building Radio” based on the building it transmits from.
