'''WRAS''' (88.5 [[Hertz|MHz]]) is a non-commercial [[FM radio|FM]] [[radio station]] in [[Atlanta|Atlanta, Georgia]], licensed to [[Georgia State University]]. Its schedule is split between [[college radio]] format ('''Album 88''') airing from 7 p.m. to 5 a.m. and [[public radio]] programming from [[Georgia Public Broadcasting]] ('''88.5 GPB Atlanta''') airing from 5 a.m. to 7 p.m. daily. Student programming is funded by GSU's Student Activity Fee, while station maintenance is partially funded by GPB. The Album 88 and 88.5 GPB Atlanta formats are both programmed for 24 hours a day, with each available on separate internet streams, and Album 88 is also available full-time on WRAS's [[HD Radio|HD2]] subchannel.

The [[transmitter]] is located off [[Interstate 20]] on Old Flat Shoals Road Southeast in eastern Atlanta. The Album 88 student studios and offices are located on the campus of Georgia State University in downtown Atlanta, while the GPB studios are located in its headquarters off 14th Street in Midtown Atlanta.

Students at Georgia State host and produce all of the programs on Album 88, with the exception of [[Georgia State Panthers]] sporting events.  While GPB public radio is heard around the clock on several [[simulcast]] radio stations in Georgia, listeners in the Atlanta area only hear the daytime schedule on WRAS. GPB is one of two Atlanta-based [[National Public Radio]] [[network affiliate|affiliate stations]]; the other is the full-time [[WABE (FM)|WABE]], with its own news department and programming. The two stations carry overlapping NPR programming, such as ''[[All Things Considered]]'', ''[[Fresh Air]]'', and ''[[Morning Edition]]''.
