WMRE began as a low-budget idea in 1983, with call letters WEMO. In 1985 students began the laborious task of creating a modern radio station at Emory. After four years of persistent effort, on January 20, 1989, Emory’s student operated radio station, WMRE, began broadcasting. In the Fall of 2008, WMRE made its long awaited move from the cramped, unventilated studio in the basement of Longstreet Hall to its spacious home in Dobbs University Center, now the Alumni Memorial University Center. Though it still broadcasts video via the Emory Cable system or www.wmre.fm website, WMRE has made efforts to raise the bar in terms of quality.
