New station keeps format a mystery . . .
The addition of a new radio station, as well as a shift in ownership of four other local stations, could have the Centre Region changing the dials on its car radios, Walkmans and boom boxes. Although he would not release the station's format, Rubin said WBUS's programming will be broad-based and will target both college students and area adults as listeners. The station, owned by the Boalsburg Broadcasting Co., operates from its studios at CATO Park in Ferguson Township. WBUS is currently playing an hour-long rotation of songs ranging from Bette Midler to R. Kelly. However, Rubin said the songs are no indication of WBUS's forthcoming format and the only reason the songs are played is because the station is required to keep the transmitter on the air at all times.
