"According to KBHU station manager Cody Oliver, this is the third year members of the college radio station have given away a trip to Cancun. The next giveaway will be held in May, when the station will present a graduation package to a graduating senior. "
"SNN-TV, the student television news magazine, was named the second best college TV station. Paula Greenwalt, SNN producer and anchor, was named second best television journalist. She graduated in December. Melissa Nixon, a news producer for Samford WVSU-FM, was named third best radio journalist. Nixon is a junior journalism major from Trussville. Amy Travis, a May graduate from Murray, Ky., had the second best research paper."
"'The demographic is hugely exciting for sponsors,' said David Isaacs, CEO of the 5-year-old Zilo Networks, which airs on about 250 campuses, including the University of Tampa. 'But it's a hard audience to get to.'"
"A pending decision by the Federal Communications Commission could bring CSN International one step closer to a much stronger Massachusetts presence � at the potential expense of noncommercial and college stations. If the syndicate is allowed to transmit its satellite feed, 20,000 watts strong, from a tower in Plymouth, it could muddle the signal of many lower-power stations � including Boston College�s student-run WZBC (90.3 FM) � for several hundred thousand listeners on the South Shore. It would also set a terrible precedent, allowing a nationwide broadcaster to take up valuable FM bandwidth with syndicated programming antithetical to the local spirit noncommercial radio is supposed to support."
"Listen - there is a new frequency riding the airwaves of radio entertainment, and it's not on the radio. KCR college radio has a new show 'Achtung Radio,' featuring music, news and exclusive interviews from around the world via the Internet."
"WMUH 91.7 FM The Morning Call is on Muhlenberg College campus radio throughout the day. Our College Radio News Reports are news that matters to students. They air at 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10 a.m., noon and 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. Students can also pick up The Morning Call daily as part of a cooperative program between the college and the newspaper."
"The chorus in Washington, D.C. about leveling the indecency playing field across media platforms is getting louder, with Clear Channel weighing in on the prickly issue. Andrew Levin, CC's executive VP and chief legal officer, says the company is concerned about what it calls a growing disparity in Federal Communications Commission regulations concerning media content delivered over competing platforms.
While Levin questions whether Congress is ready to tackle the controversial matter of enforcing the indecency statute at satellite radio just yet, he says Clear Channel is talking to Congress -all the time about it- and there is some traction in Congress about the disparity between the treatment among these competing platforms. "
Editor: This is an uphill battle. The courts have restricted Indecency to FREE, over the air operations in the past. The immediate concern in those cases were cable outlets. Satellite wasn't really in the picture at that time, at least not to the degree they are now. Notice that the article and the focus of CC is satellite and not cable. This is a calculated move to get a foot in the door for parity. Even if Congress passes new laws to include satellite, there will ultimately be a court battle over this issue.
"Community activists cheered when the federal government began offering licenses for low-power radio stations five years ago. But now, some are wondering what happened to what they envisioned as an end-around to big media domination of the airwaves. "
Editor: Seems strange that the author didn't even mention college stations!
"Communication freshman Anthony Williams hosts a talk show and music hour for WXRU, but he wants more than his girlfriend to tune in. This year WXRU -- Communication Residential College's radio station -- began to broadcast 24 hours a day via the Internet. To boost its audience, radio junkies renovated the station in an attempt to get more students interested in the station."
"Though digital music formats like compact discs and MP3s offer more in terms of convenience and clarity, fans of vinyl argue that records provide superior sound quality, says Allison Haar, live mix director at Emerson College radio station WERS."
