From
The General Manager:
Greetings from the Bioscience and Information Technology
Center.
We're looking for music lovers with a passion for jazz,
swing or the blues to host programs on HD2.
By now you may know that HD2 currently features
re-broadcasts of locally produced programs that originally aired on WGTD. We
hope to supplement reruns of Sam Chell’s “Saturday Night Bandstand” and Tim
Bell’s “Classic Big Bands & Beyond” with hours of original programs produced by
volunteers. This is a great opportunity for jazz fans who have some spare time
they'd be willing to share, as we go about trying to fill a void on the FM dial.
Hosts will have the option of using music from their
personal libraries to record programs in a “real-time” mode, or they may rely on
the station’s 6,500-selection digital library to “voice-track” shows for the
automated station. Training will be provided.
Potential hosts interested in learning more about the
opportunity are invited to give me a call at 262-564-3030 or email
coled@gtc.edu.
