Podcast Launch in the Works
May 19, 2015
NJCU’s radio station the WGKR has been inactive for a few years now. Unfortunately
NJCU no longer has rights to the WGKR signal. The school doesn’t have the funding to get it
back; it’s almost impossible to get the radio up and running again.
Have no fear—there’s another alternative. We are planning to make a podcast in the
absence of the WGKR.
The podcast will look to have segments similar to a radio station and will be community
driven. People can contact us with suggestions to talk about, questions, advice, etc. This podcast
will feature NJCU staff as well as students to voice their thoughts. This will give everyone
insight on what is currently going on at the school.
The podcast will have different segments. Some will be informative, while others will be
entertaining. The segments will cover a wide variety of topics ranging from current day news to
interviews to comedic rants and much more. We will do promoting for people as well, such as
promoting clubs, events, or even local talents.
This will be a source of news along with the Gothic Times. Not only will it inform, but
also entertain. It will appeal to most, if not all audiences. The podcast will act as a secondary
voice for the students.
The podcast will launch in the fall semester. It’s time to create something new for
students, by students.
