It’s a new season for the college campus radio station CRLC The Kodiak, and the communication arts broadcasting students are on their way to a good start.
This year there have been some changes to the Kodiak, according to station manager Ray Burgess.
Certain time blocks have been introduced like 4-9 p.m. is now all top hit music, and from 9 p.m.-3 a.m. is mostly rock.
Burgess also says that students are “getting there,” and still adjusting to being on air, and they will become more comfortable with more practice.
Second-year broadcasting student Sarah De Coste says she was apprehensive about being on the radio the first time.
“It was really scary, and I was nervous about saying something wrong or making a mistake and not knowing what to do,” she says.
She has pretty well overcome her fear since then, she says.
“I have a feel for being on the radio. It’s real. It’s like having a real job that I don’t get paid for.”
Second year broadcasting majors concentrate mostly on the radio and LCTV television stations and are then required to do a practicum in April 2011.
All first year Communication arts students will be taking over the Kodiak in their second semester.
CRLC the Kodiak is an online station and can is available to all Lethbridge College students to listen live at www.lethcollege.ca/commarts/crlc.
