Co-op with 89.7 WSHC Part 1

There is certainly a differently feeling working with this radio station then the last one, since this one is much smaller and has one channel instead of three. Based on what I have been told, much of the work that the co-op will involve is encouraging students to participate and work in the radio station during their spare time, as well as making the content of the station more appropriate for college students. I am happy to have another opportunity to gain experience in the field of radio, as well as being able to make a difference for this station.

As of now we are more along the lines of the planning phase for this co-op. The goal right now is to come up with ideas for the station to help get the attention of the students at Shepherd University. The two current best tactics for the station as of right now are to put flyers across campus as well as using social media sites like Twitter to help promote the radio station. Once these ideas are fully put into motion, I feel that the station will at least be at it's first step at achieving it's goals and getting the attention of the university's students that it needs.

There is plenty to do over the course of the next few months and if all goes well, this may be a big step for me to finally get into the field full time after graduating college. I want the radio station to be successful, and I will do all I can to help it.
