And we're back!

After weathering two hurricane successfully without any power outages, KSCL is ready for Fall Broadcasting to begin! On the 10th, we had a DJ interest meeting and the turn out was fantastic. There were a lot of new faces who were terribly excited about possibly having a radio show. By the end of the meeting, Tyler had a stack of DJ applications.

On the 16th, we had our first training meeting. Unfortunately the turn out wasn't so great. However, that didn't stop us from training and re-training the small group. Though more importantly, we sat every one of them down to sign them up for Spinitron!

Zakk and Cazes hosted the premier show of the this Broadcast season. The Top 30 show is back, with a brand new time slot! If you loved the Top 30 show over the summer, be sure to check it out Fridays from 3pm until 6pm.

In Centenary news, last week the college welcomed the new Dean of Student Life, David L. Wolmack. I have yet to meet him, but I've head great things from students that have had interaction with him.

Now that we're back into the swing of things, expect more consistent updates to the blog. The station will begin broadcasting a new program soon, so expect an update about when you can check it out (and yes, you'll find out what the show's about and what it's called then too. I've gotta keep things suspenseful somehow!).

For now keep an eye out on our broadcasting schedule for the start of some great new and returning shows!

You Spin Me Right Round, Baby

We here at KSCL are always about the newest and hippest things. And I'm posting now to tell you about the newest, hippest thing that will bring the public closer to station. No, it's not online streaming (it's coming! I promise!). It's a little website called Spinitron.

Before I explain, a brief history lesson about KSCL (sorta): Did you know that we have paper playlists from all the way back in the 90s? No, well I'm sure a lot of people don't know this, because the public never gets to see these playlists. For every show, a DJ writes down the song he or she plays recording band name, album name, and sometimes record company. Up until now, these playlists have only been useful to the music director.

Well not anymore. Spinitron is a playlist management website that will connect our lovely audience to the DJ shows in a whole new way. DJs will be able to update their playlists automatically while on air. Not only can the public see what's being played, they can also go back and find out what song was being played at what time during a certain show.

Currently Spinitron is in a testing phase for us at KSCL. For now, only staff shows will have live playlists with the older DJs soon to be trained. Hopefully all summer DJs will be accustom to using Spinitron instead of written playlists by the end of the month.

And for the second time this summer, I manage to be the first to do something. My show on June 8th was the first official show of summer programing and today I was the first staff member to put Spinitron to use. You can check out The Sound and the Fury's first online playlist here!
