IngenuityPictures has produced a short documentary about WCBN to mark our 40th year of FM broadcasting. Our DJs and volunteers explain the history and current state of the radio station, and why this radio station is important to the culture of Ann Arbor, Michigan.

Introductory training sessions are held every Sunday at 4pm in our lobby. Go to the Thompson St. entrance of the SAB (corner of Jefferson) and call 763-3500. Say you're here for training, and we'll buzz you in. Or email training AT wcbn DOT org!

Since 1980, arwulf arf has hosted Face the Music every Thursday at 7pm, a show which has set the benchmark for experimental and experiential radio at WCBN and in the freeform community. For the third time, arwulf brings the show to not only our ears, but eyes, at this special event at the Work Gallery.

This multi-media presentation includes eye and ear-witness stories from Ann Arbor's cultural history, drawing upon four decades of first hand experience. arwulf takes us on a Powerpoint presentation adventure, drawing upon meetings, conversations, and historic performances from a prolific array of artists. arwulf caps off the lecture with a poetry reading accompanied by the improvisation ensemble, Creative Arts Orchestra, comprised of U of M school of music students and led by Mark Kirschenmann.
