Back by popular demand from the local as well as the international listening audience, the annual reggae marathon has been expanded from seven days to an unprecedented eight days of uninhibited, commercial free simulcast of the best of the reggae music genre. The reggae marathon, a WUSB and Clappers International tradition, is the clear choice for reggae enthusiasts to ring in the New Year.
