Hello friends on the Internet. I have a situation. So this radio station I manage called Wake Radio (which you can stream at http://radio.wfu.edu) is fixin’ to be effectively shut down. Wake Forest’s Office of Student Life is allocating our lounge and office space to become general cubicle space for employees of Student Life. That means we are left with our tiny recording booth and already over-crowded vinyl closet. Yeah, we’re done. No more in-studios, nowhere to store CDs once the stacks are full, nowhere to put our audio equipment which means no more DJing around and off campus, no office or phone for our MDs, no space for any sort of events, no place for non-Greek students and fans of alternative music to have to themselves, etc etc etc. We’re pretty much just a dude, a computer, and a microphone if this happens.

WHAT I NEED FROM YOU (and I know a lot of you guys were on staff at Wake Radio at one point) – get me a list of everyone who got a job in the industry due to involvement with Wake Radio, cause now that likelihood is seriously reduced as our operating capacity is seriously reduced.

Further – if anyone has any alumni contacts, let them know about this. Send anything to <Bedsnh7@wfu.edu>

Wake Radio is in a better position than it has been since I’ve been here, and I just can’t let an administrative circumstance like this make us forfeit all the strides we’ve made. We’re a nationally charting radio station with an international audience. The administration doesn’t realize what they are crippling with this taking of our space and resources. I know there’s only a handful of you out there that will appreciate this post – but please do all in your power to get this word out to the right people. They can’t take our station.
