| The first time I was ever on the airwaves was 1990 as some of us high school students took over the DCCC radio station for a summer. My friend Ty and I made up the T & C Happy Hour - w had no format, would play Guns N Roses followed by Anne Murray followed by some unpronouncable spanish record that skipped badly. We had a blast! And listeners!
I also was in college radio when I attended FHSU. There, I actually *gasp* learned how a radio station works - continuity, programming, news, management, etc.
From what I have seen (heard), there isnt much keeping the station here going. They are not on consistant hours and, while I am sure the equipment has upgraded since I was there (no more radial pots???), it still needs to be used as a learning tool - not only for aspiring Howard Sterns, but also for kids wanting to dip their feet into sports play by play, engineering, etc, before jumping in the deep end. |
