Monday Blues

Posted on April 25th, 2005 at 07:54 pm under Radio, News

Today’s been mostly a blur. I really don’t know how the day progressed as rapidly as it did. Work was accomplished, classes attended, meetings adjourned, meals eaten. At the same time, the stress level simply rises and with only two more weeks of classes (less now), the work is definitely piling up.

Of interest, there was a WHCL meeting this evening where the general manager and production manager spoke of upcoming changes and events. This upcoming Saturday, WHCL, IMF, CAB, and the ISC are putting on the annual May Day event on Minor field (that’s right outside my window). This is the second year it has been organized and while this year the artists being brought in are less known, it should be a blast - providing it doesn’t rain on Saturday. Yes, if you’re paying attention closely or are good with dates, you’ll know that Saturday is actually April 30th. That’s the logic that prevails at Hamilton!

In addition, it looks like WHCL will be broadcasting this summer, albeit with a very limited schedule. I’m not sure exactly what the schedule will be (probably 2-4 hours a day) but I’m going to try with all my might (read: ask) for my own show over the summer. John and Greg might even become co-hosts! Also of interest, WHCL has some really snazzy t-shirts that will be going on sale. In all honesty, they look very cool (and come in 5 colors too)! Being a DJ, we can get them below cost so I’ll hopefully be picking up a couple and maybe we’ll even have a few to give away on our show!

It also looks like WHCL is going to be getting a digital music library that will allow us to broadcast 24/7 unmanned. This means that potentially, there will no longer be dead air before our show (that is if I can keep the same time next year). Of course, this won’t occur until next year once the new system is in place but I’m pretty excited about it. In fact, the station is looking for some new e-board members and I might apply for one of the less intensive positions such as member-at-large.

So those are mainly the new WHCL things in work. Don’t forget- tomorrow Sean and I are on-air at 10.30 am for an hour and half of mayhem and music. If you missed last weeks post on the station, be sure to check it our here for some awesome pictures!
