===GPB=== On May 6, 2014, Georgia State University announced that WRAS would turn over its daytime hours to a new Atlanta-only service from the radio division of [[Georgia Public Broadcasting]] (branded "GPB Atlanta"), with [[news/talk]] programming between the hours of 5 a.m. to 7 p.m., leaving the remaining ten hours of the day for student [[Over-the-air programming|airtime]]. Daytime programs would continue on Album 88, but accessible only via a new [[digital subchannel]] and streaming live on the station's website. GPB paid $150,000 to GSU for the rights to broadcast on WRAS, in addition to a commitment to have GSU communications-major students obtain [[internship]]s with GPB. GSU was also promised a weekly "Georgia music" program on the GPB state network. The contract was drawn for a two-year period, but it automatically renews, and contains a clause that could theoretically allow for the sharing or transfer of the license to GPB in the future. The [[student government]] (SGA) had allocated over $300,000 for the transmitter before finding out that most of its usage would be for GPB instead of for GSU students.
