-In the original incarnation of WRPR in the mid 1970's, which only broadcasted on campus, the calls stood for "Ramapo People's Radio." Past taglines for the station also included "Ramapo Power Radio", "Real Power Radio", "They Pelted Us with Rocks and Garbage!", "Reasonably better than Dead Air", "WRPR where rock visits, but wouldn't want to live there" and "EXTREME Hit Radio". Their current tagline as of 2006 is "Ramapo Radio".
-WRPR was freeform radio in the sense that during anyone's air shift there could be found top 40, or, "Bottem 100." Never really a pre-top 40 format, WRPR has switched as of 2006 to freeform radio.{{fact}}
-WRPR won Ramapo College's Organization of the Year award in 1994, and again in 1998.{{fact}}
