All right.
Next up we have John Walker from

Rick Perry via the lightning
struck the water right here

to talk to you about research here the
party got your studio right radio station.

And you know I'm still give you
a brief history about where we are and

sort of that you know like the stories
behind us in our programming fluffy so

you can better understand where
your money goes to and so

we have a very firm believer
in quality first program but

that means it's been playing music that
you normally don't hear on the radio in

fact you know most of our programming is
stuff that you would never hear on the top

forty radio station are you know Q one
hundred but we're OK with that but

we're trying to provide our
listeners who need to experience.

We're playing music that has like maybe
one or two outlets and then be through us.

And maybe you know their grandparents or
something.

And so the reason we're playing
is because of our it's risky.

You know we're doing that since
nine hundred sixty eight.

We started over in the band here building
up ten watt transmitter what you're seeing

here is our overall mission says no it
was this crazy Rolodex type machine with

a track that you know that went around the
circle and did all those good magic and

we were able to you know broadcast
twenty four hours a day and

then one hundred seventy eight
sold out with the sale of W.G.S.

people we're going to move into
the coliseum Yes that's sort of what

you know a lot of pictures
are a rarity of really proud

of a studio with a whole bunch of pictures
everywhere but this is where we stayed for

almost twenty years and that's where
we really built up our culture our

first city very apparent in the community
and you know with the sale of

the major guest you were able to purchase
a three hundred foot tower it's over.

Unless campus you haven't seen it
it's important for you doesn't want

to know we're going to upgrade the first
thing to a hundred thousand watts and so

what that means is since
nine hundred seventy.

We've been brought you know complaining
Atlanta with our radio airwaves and

it's something that's accessible to you as
a student successful the everybody that's

involved with the tech just before you go
over into the student involving center

right now you have a lot bigger spaces
it's just a little separate from our

studio the city.

We have now it's really nice through.

You know student fun is
actually a game of my donation.

We were able to make a radio station that
you know we have a lot of my family about

a month ago we were to you know
he works as a professional D.J.

like the studio looks exactly what
I do when I go into work every day.

So as a student here you're
allowed to come in and

it will teach you how to give them and
that's what really has become

become a very well run student run radio
station because if you are an engineering.

You might not agree with their musical
choices but we're open to everybody with

a very diverse programming form and
so you know that's the sort of

what we've been trying to do with radio
and you know I guess you probably don't

understand our programming philosophy very
well but we have something called Walk for

having and what that is is we have all
sorts of different shows during the day

we don't play one type of music before
the classics and early morning jazz and

sort of late morning bar the roll over in
the afternoon that we have after six P.M.

We have all these specialty
shows that happen.

So you'll hear like the best music that
is sort of you know along the lines of

you know agent and
they'll be D.J.'s who are really slowly

committed to providing this kind of music
and then there's like there's shows like

literally like trying to get
machine that plays a techno for

like three half hours on
Saturday nights and so

we have this kind of format because we
want to you know try to touch everything

because we're not we're for a good station
we don't have to worry about appealing to

you know marketing advertising
parenting earning points and

trying to do all the things we can begin
to do you know what every one really with

their ways we try to bring our listeners
a very diverse experience which is talking

about some of the members who are not key
members but most interesting people are of

all the radio station for example Bernice
has been following ready stations since

one thousand nine hundred eighty five or
so she doesn't actually work at a radio

station she only calls talks about
the show or her grandparents or something.

Some kind of problem she has just
like a really old lady now but

you know a lot of my back thirty years ago
they still remember actually calling for

the participants and.

For a while you know she's a really sweet
lady trying to revise what to do and

other the interesting thing
about records we have

a lot of the old shows that have happened.

You know like we have right here which
is sort of like our own show that I

really think of several more personality
but everybody's The most interesting show.

I think really it's a heavy metal bar
show that happens Friday from midnight to

whenever they fall asleep so probably
six A.M. or something like that and

the shows they have such great histories
like one year ago we have the freedom here

to get to some crazy concert that they
want to get tickets to and the dishes like

the first person to bring it the whole
the station just parroting it.

It's like two A.M. in the middle that I
don't want the boys listening to records

but people walk to the station anyway
what I want this ticket so badly and you

taste like no jury takes the scrutiny puts
it into his car to prove to the value one

of those tickets and so you know record
of me have all these stories amazing.

I'm liking it that we have this
thing called the artwork and

it just has all these stories and
like crazy things.

This is the good lunch party
just like bangs on things and

yells out poetry really good that
now he's like a fetus Atlantean and

sort of like body is this period right.

You know down here in this new
phase of our kind of life.

We're going to be we're doing a lot more
things for example we did the Mini five

hundred we got some of our new
operators to come in really they want

to do something awesome to get this
into you know right around the stress or

up to the parking deck and I don't expect
them to win or anything but I came in for.

We did really well for

a team we actually have a good
turnout that works with us here.

He's from Wheeler high school next year
and he now he's like I love the radio.

I love what you guys do
you can I be involved.

Like I am free labor for you know where
is it OPERATOR And you know try to

help me out with this project and he has
a show on Monday from twelve to one and

so you know very deal is
a very open environment.

If you're a student if
you're a faculty member.

You're just staff you're more
the only truly better exam.

Well you know he does
last in the stacks and

he just came to me one day he's like
hey I have an idea for sure and

I generally prefer
the service department works.

So it's a very easily accessible
things especially since we're

in the middle of campus.

So if you're interested.

All you need to do just
come to the radio station.

If you know you have to make a point or
whatever and

someone will be there to talk to them.

There's a training process you don't have
any experience they don't want to be on

they are just want to do engineering
hard core engineering got that you

already know there's a lot of
different opportunities for you and

what I want to leave you with today is
sort of this radio station that you might

have one office like the labels with
the previous don't listen to one hundred

it's actually a really good radio station
just have to know when to listen and

if you want to be able to feel like
we have specific types of music.

So if you want to go to programming or
I go to during the radio or you have your

exhibit or a tree and there's a whole
life playlist and everything.

So thank you.
