WBAR
Barnard College Radio
WBAR is an independent, free-form, non-commercial, non-profit radio station broadcasting from the Barnard College campus in New York City. All of our programming is generated entirely by on-campus DJ's, with a new show spinning every 2 hours. Our staff is a fine bunch of Barnard and Columbia students, and every one of us is just as aesthetically pleasing as we are qualified for the job.
WBAR's mission is to provide an outlet for the music that you won't find on mainstream stations, so we don't stop at broadcasting. We also put on some of the best shows in New York City.
