WRAS (88.5 MHz) is a public FM radio station in Atlanta, Georgia. It is owned by Georgia State University and its schedule is split between public radio programming from Georgia Public Broadcasting (88.5 GPB Atlanta) airing from 5 a.m. to 7 p.m. and college radio programming (Album 88) airing from 7 p.m. to 5 a.m. The Album 88 and 88.5 GPB Atlanta formats are both available 24 hours a day on separate internet streams, and Album 88 is available full-time on WRAS's HD-2 subchannel.
The transmitter is off Interstate 20 on Old Flat Shoals Road SE in Atlanta. Studios and offices are on the campus of Georgia State University in Pantherville.
Students at Georgia State host and produce many of the programs on Album 88 with the exception of Georgia State Panthers sporting events. While Georgia Public Radio is heard around the clock on several simulcast radio stations in Georgia, listeners in the Atlanta area only hear the daytime schedule, on WRAS. Atlanta has a full time National Public Radio affiliate, 90.1 WABE, with its own news department and airing many of the same national programs, such as All Things Considered and Morning Edition.
On January 18, 1971, WRAS first signed on the air, at first powered at 19,500 watts.
