Yesterday, I attended the 2010 WGUR Conference to orient new staff. The conference is held at the start of every semester and includes presentations on topics such as developing a good radio show and building networking skills.
As the new production manager at WGUR, I was pleased with the level of professionalism by the presenters. I especially enjoyed General Manager Lauren Dalton's presentation on interviewing for a job in radio. She made some excellent points and I hope that the students attending took them to heart.
This should be an exciting year to be involved with WGUR. GC&SU has acquired another radio frequency that will broadcast with a much wider range. It should reach Macon, Lake Oconee, and all of Milledgeville. GC&SU plans to hire new staff to run this station and have WGUR remain a student run station. In order to keep its spot however, WGUR may come under review of the FCC. While I have no doubt that the FCC will find our content suitable to remain on-air, it is still exciting to know that we are part of the team that will keep WGUR alive.
Remember to keep your radios tuned to 88.9 FM to listen to WGUR.
