Stevens Point Journal - Students past, present rally in support of campus station

Stevens Point Journal - Students past, present rally in support of campus station: "It's the 16-year-old's first job, and even though she doesn't get paid, the experience has been phenomenal, she said.
'I hadn't thought I would do anything like radio,' said Canales, who got involved with the station through her father, Jim, a community volunteer. 'I feel like I fit in even though I'm in high school.'
The elder and younger Canaleses were two of about 30 station supporters who showed up for a rally and press conference Friday on the 90FM steps. After it came to light earlier this week that UWSP is considering an affiliation with Wisconsin Public Radio - a decision many fear would severely curtail local programming - current and former station employees and volunteers organized the event to raise awareness about what they feel is at stake."

Radio X marks the spot for announcers at college station: South Florida Sun-Sentinel

Radio X marks the spot for announcers at college station: South Florida Sun-Sentinel: "'Hands down, the experience has been the best thing for me. I am very caught up in the music. It's great to get people to listen to me,' said Garcia, of Pembroke Pines, who can be heard from 7 to 9 p.m.

Since its inception in 1998 and thanks to underwriting and a $100,000 budget from the Student Activities office, Radio X is the only college station in Broward County whose signal reaches beyond the campus. "

Stevens Point Journal - Campus radio programs at risk

Stevens Point Journal - Campus radio programs at risk: "'The range of ways you can be involved in 90FM is outrageous. I mean, you could do 50 hours of 90FM in a week or you could do three minutes. Either way, you come away with the same experience,' Henseler said. 'Any drop in (local) programming is a loss. Period.'"
