This is followed by a health show hosted by medical students, which gives listeners a chance to call in for medical advice. In addition to offering a wide variety of programming, BSR also tries to reach out to the larger Providence community. On Thursday nights at 7 p.m. BSR broadcasts a community radio show about events going on in the larger Providence community. Calls come in from a variety of surrounding communities. BSR is entirely student-run.
Students have a lot of freedom with music and non-music programming, and new ideas are encouraged.
BSR has just completed a new system for students who would like to be involved in the station. Then you gain station membership and will get trained on the equipment, on how to speak on the air and about FCC rules. If you want to propose a new show, you must record a practice show first and turn it into the program director, who evaluates it. Of the 150 to 200 students involved with BSR, about 70 are on the air each week. To widen its listenership, BSR plans to publish a programming schedule.
