When does WHRB automate?

When does WHRB automate?

• A. Weekends only
• B. Weekdays only
• C. Over breaks, summer too
• D. Never

Answer: (C)

The idea being tested is how a radio station keeps programming on air when there’s no live staff. WHRB uses automation to run the station during times when students aren’t available—specifically during breaks and in the summer. In practice, automation means a computer-driven schedule that plays pre-programmed music, voice tracks, announcements, and commercials, so the station continues broadcasting even without live DJs. This isn’t limited to weekends or weekdays, because gaps can occur during any break or summer period when there’s no one to host a show. So automation during breaks and summer ensures continuous programming, which is why that option is the best answer.
