Imagine: you\u2019re walking through the William\u2019s Center, and the radio is (for once) playing a certain Fredonia-centralized radio station. What\u2019s this radio station you may ask?\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why it\u2019s Fredonia Radio Systems\u2019 (FRS) radio station WCVF 88.9, <\/a>where many of the local band\u2019s music plays as well as some of Fredonia\u2019s current favorite music. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You may ask yourself, what even goes into the running of a radio station?\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well, many people actually run the entire fully-furnished state of the art equipment radio station as a lot of work goes into running each aspect of the station. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With about as large of an Executive Board as The Leader, each part of the station includes a manager for parts such as News, Sports, Music and each station called WCVF and WDVL. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other managers include business, production directors, and chief archivist to make sure that the radio station is running as smoothly as possible. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the radio station being a part of Fredonia for quite some time, some legacy shows have been a part of the radio station\u2019s tradition for around the same time. These shows include Lovercall, an anonymous radio show that talks about all things love and things including love, High Noon Friday, a variety show that has recently hit their 40th anniversary that includes aspects like quizzes and news segments, and the newer show of the bunch The Local Lo-Down, which delves into the local music scene and groups around Fredonia. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Focusing on being the voice and showcase of Fredonia isn\u2019t the only thing this club does, FRS also holds many charity events throughout the semesters to help local charities such as Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These events include Rockin the Commons, where the radio station takes over Barker Commons, a local park in the heart of Fredonia, and hosts concerts and raffle drawings with all the money raised through the funds from the event going to Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center for cancer research. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Helping out in the radio station is one of the great ways to gain experience in running your own radio show, as people can run their own radio show under some regulation, with a newcomer including After the Beep, which follows the hosts talking to each other about their life experiences. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even if you don\u2019t want to run your own show, new members can apply to become assistants to the managers of each position to gain experience on that part of the station, with not as much commitment as being a manager. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the same vein as the Taylor Swift cut-out, a cardboard cut-out of the station’s faculty advisor, Professor Mike Igoe, also lives at the radio station. I also had the opportunity to interview with Igoe; <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Me: Hi there Mike! I\u2019m sure you are not surprised to hear that you are the e-board member that spends the most time at the radio station.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Igoe: \u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Me: What can you say is your favorite part about being in the radio station?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Igoe: \u2026 <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Me: Who\u2019s your favorite e-board member?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mike: \u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

And once again, that concludes our time with FRS. Be sure to fill out the Google Form for post ideas so I don\u2019t have to scramble to figure out who to highlight next. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
