See more first, WMRE was carried through a carrier current system throughout the university. The signal was only available to on-campus listeners, and was broadcast over the 590AM. Due to neglect and maintenance problems, the cable connection deteriorated, and 590AM was soon nothing but a faint buzz through the speakers. Soon thereafter, WMRE began broadcasting on Emory University's Cable System. Although once again WMRE was only available to listeners on campus, it breathed new life into the station.

Today, WMRE enjoys a worldwide audience, and can be heard, and viewed via a web-cam at www.wmre.fm and on the Emory Campus Cable channel 26.
