Susanna Park and Betty Yu are striving to be television news reporters. Both seniors at the University of California, Berkeley, they already have interned at a few big-market television stations. But wanting real experience, they found just one place to turn: Ohlone College.
"WASHINGTON Sources familiar with public warning issues expect the FCC's overhaul of the Emergency Alert System to be completed in 2005. However, pinpointing exactly when the FCC will release the report and order is difficult, and much will depend on the new chairman's approach. The commission's review of proposed changes to EAS rules released last August continues. It is based in part on the recommendations of the Media Security and Reliability Council, an FCC advisory committee and the now-defunct Partnership for Public Warning. A single federal entity should have oversight of EAS in this country, MSRC and PPW recommended. "

"For years, the KCOU/88.1 FM staff has pushed to get a student broadcast of the Missouri football games. Now they have done it. Next season, a team from the campus radio station, most likely juniors Nick Hoette and Brendan McCaffrey, will broadcast from the south end of the photo deck at Memorial Stadium during home games. "
"Jesse Thorn versus NPR isn�t a David-versus-Goliath battle. It�s more like a bacterium-inside-David�s-colon-versus-Goliath battle. From his seat at KZSC on the campus of UC Santa Cruz, Thorn is so far from the centers of power in public radio, he might as well be in orbit. It�s difficult to overestimate Thorn�s pipsqueak-itude in the radio industry, a fact that Thorn himself readily acknowledges."
"While commercial radio stations generally have a reputation of overplaying certain songs and not changing their artist roster, Quinnipiac's WQAQ 98.1 is working to break that stereotype by allowing new artists to gain exposure on the college radio circuit.
'I'd probably prefer that than listening to the same songs repeated,' Andrea Llin, a freshman communications major, said, referring to WQAQ's pledge to support new artists. Llin listens mainly to commercial stations, such as Hamden's KC 101.3, and is tired of listening to the same songs get repeated in the music rotation."
"Thank goodness for college radio stations. In that deep void of FM radio with its crazy songs and verse-chorus-verse, it's student-run college radio that can get us through the day. Ok, so maybe it's not that epic, but WUAG does a pretty darn good job of simply making great music accessible. Now, for all you cats who want to take some of that music with you when you go to visit mom and dad, WUAG in a joint effort with Gate City Noise have put together their second ever compilation disc titled Sub Rosa. Pulling from a collection of live recordings in Greensboro over the past three years, Sub Rosa is a seventeen-track (with a bonus!) album that has numbers from WUAG Presents shows and concerts at Gate City Noise. Bands like Iron and Wine, Hope for AGoldenSummer, and Mt. Eerie have played in a location near you, and if you were lucky to be there, you might even hear yourself in the cheering background. "
"Recovering from setbacks that have plagued Columbia Television since its founding, Columbia's student-run television station is growing, upgrading, and becoming a campus force�or at least trying to do so. With new equipment and programming, the ever-earnest station now broadcasts 24 hours a day online and even offers live shows. But despite these forward steps taken since its second resurrection in 2002, students around campus, including CTV�s founders, know the station has a long way to go."
Ka Leo O Hawaii - KTUH sets path for 'Singterns': "The University of Hawai'i is once again hosting an international internship through its campus radio station, KTUH 90.3 FM Honolulu. Two students from Ngee Ann Polytechnic, a pre-university school in Singapore, were the applicants who were selected for a chance to do their internship in Hawai'i. The students arrived two weeks ago.
