WTBU is online and maybe carrier current.
Their big broadcast station is WBUR-FM which is an NPR news and talk station, famed for syndicating Car Talk

Howard Stern was at WTBU early on. At one point I picked it up on 640 AM in Kenmore Sq.

Wikipedia:
>>Famous WTBU alum include Howard Stern, the self-proclaimed King of All Media. He attended B.U. in the mid-1970s, and WTBU was the first station to fire Stern. As mentioned in his book Private Parts, his show (the King Schmaltz Bagel Hour) once aired a segment called “Making the Bishop Blush” in which they pretended a local Catholic Bishop was in the studio. They proceeded to make lurid statements and asked if the Bishop was blushing yet. Then-Program Director Hank Sennott was listening and fired Stern on the spot.

Many WTBU alumni have gone on to careers in broadcasting and related fields, including:

Pete Gustin, WEEI-FM & Pete’s Bits
(Gustin is legally blind)
