Station "WMIB" served as a science project for physics students as gave speech students a chance to receive broadcasting experience. Only the campus community could tune into WMIB because the station was hardwired to Manchester College buildings
In 1968, student station manager, Mike Emrick (MC Class of 1968), along with the faculty advisor, Dr. Ronald Aungst, worked to receive a Federal Communications Commission license. The campus radio station became an FM station, and began using the new station letters: WBKE in honor of the last names of previous station managers: Brent Barkman ’66, David Kistler ’67 and Emrick.
