New Jersey City University‘s Gothic Knight Radio Station recently received funding in order to begin broadcasting to the campus community. Justin Browning, 20, Media Arts major from Sayreville became the newly-elected General Manager of WGKR and talked about what the money is meant to be used for.

Browning said that “WGKR received a $4,000 budget from SGO this semester. This money will be used for updating all equipment possible as well as give us the ability to get anything needed for future events we would like to throw.”

Many familiar shows will be returning to WGKR, with the addition of new ones as well. Browning noted that “As of right now we have three returning shows titled ‘Happy Hour,’ a rock show, ‘Know Homo,’ and ‘Speech LOUD Radio,’ a hip hop show. We look to add on at least three new shows for the upcoming semesters.”

Money alone won’t keep the radio station running, but support from students and listeners will help keep WGKR operating. “In order to be a part of WGKR a student would need the ambition and willingness to learn how to do any job the station needs and they are interested in doing,” said Browning.

Listeners can listen and call-in at 201-200-3556. Once up and fully running students can listen at live365.com/profiles/wgkr or view the show by going to ustream.tv/user/wgkrnj.
