WKRB-FM (90.3 MHz) is an FM station based in New York City, New York. It is a music based station based at and controlled by Kingsborough Community College in Brooklyn. It also is the official station of the Brooklyn Cyclones, and all games are broadcast by Warner Fusselle. In 2006, WKRB changed its frequency from 90.9 MHz to 90.3 MHz, but kept its call letters.

Golden Days

The frequency at one point in the early 1980s was 103.1 FM. The challenge was that this is in the commercial station area of the dial, which eventually led back to the station returning to 90.9 FM. While at 103.1, the on-air talent was most competitive to even commercial stations.

On air personalities at the time included William (Kid Willy) McFarland, who served as the General Manager and was eventually on Z100 in New York under the name "Spanky McFarland" before his death, Vinny (The King) Soriano, who was also the Program Director during this period, Stan (The Man) Evans, Pat "Pat The Cat" DeFillippi (now known as Kid Kelly) and Lenny Greene (now on WRKS-FM New York), and others.

During the "glory days", a morning show, which preceded the famous "Zoo" shows of the mid 80s was created.

The college will be holding a 30th Anniversary Celebration of the radio station in May 2008.
