===1990s and present day=== In 1990, General Manager Sheri Pizzi and Program Director George Reese landed funding to renovate the station's on-air and production studies and convert the entire station from LP to CD. They began a program to reach out to the local community that included shows broadcast by [[Lewiston, Maine|Lewiston]]/[[Auburn, Maine|Auburn]] residents. As Summer 1992 approached General Manager Denis Howard and his fellow staff members announced an open invitation to residents of the greater Lewiston / Auburn area to attend the weekly station meetings. This was done to determine interest in (and the potential of) broadcasting throughout the summer months after most Bates students had returned home. This program increased the station's listenership in the twin cities as many WRBC genre directors are members of the L/A community and not [[Bates College|Bates]] students. In 2013, twenty out of WRBC's 75 active radio shows are hosted by members of the L/A community.
