Student Members from WVYC York College of PA were out on Friday to celebrate National College Radio Day! Students could stop by and paint a CD case using supplies provided by the Radio Station. Check out some of these cool designs!

Thank you to everyone who stopped by to support our station by decorating a CD case or picking up some merch, and thank you to the student staff for continuing to support the college on the air!

Last weekend, Undergraduate Researchers in Writing Studies from across the country met with mentors for a community- and knowledge-building research workshop hosted by York College: the annual Naylor Workshop!

Dr. Dominic DelliCarpini and countless faculty from York College and around the country worked to bring together undergraduate researchers from Texas, New Jersey, Montana, New York City, Georgia (to name a few!) for networking opportunities–but more importantly–to help these undergraduates improve their research projects and grow a community.

Researchers stayed at the Yorktowne Hotel for a couple of nights and were provided meals throughout the workshop. They had a wonderful plenary speech from Dr. Rebecca Babcock at the hotel, met with numerous mentors and fellow undergraduates to discuss their projects in the Gunter-Smith Center for Community Engagement, and visited Crispus Attucks to learn more about the history of York, PA, and how it has grown through social justice.

If you are a student interested in joining the Naylor Workshop crew next year, look out for more information in the Spring!

Congratulations to WVYC York College of PA on its 50-year anniversary!

There’s a lot of history behind the mic at WVYC York College of PA🎙️

“The station felt like family,” remembers Scott Ciaccia ’14. “To this day, my closest friends are those that I met through WVYC.”

That feeling has carried through generations of students who have called 88.1 FM home. This weekend, we’re bringing many of them back together to celebrate 50 years of WVYC.

We are excited to welcome our new colleague in Mass Communication and the new WVYC Radio Station Manager, Dr. Brian Gregory!

Dr. Gregory started doing music shows in the radio station at James Madison University. “I would finish a show and not go to sleep and then go to class the next day.” He has significant experience in audio mastering, the last step before an audio goes off to get manufactured. He has also worked on film sets and in post-production sound design.

Dr. Gregory studied communication and education at Columbia University, where he became interested in the history of sound. His dissertation focused on the history of radio and education. He also just finished a book that is coming out in February called “Listening Sound in the Battle for an Educated Democracy in 20th Century America.”

Dr. Gregory has done freelance work for years. One of his first projects was for a friend at NYU when they needed a sound engineer. He’s done freelance TV and independent companies. He built his own studio in his New York apartment. Because New York is so loud, he would mix audio at night. Gregory would invite clients over, record natural sounds from the city, and build a huge sound library.

This semester, he is teaching two radio practicum classes, one of which is an intro class for creating radio and station promotions as well as hosting their own radio shows. The second is a Sport Media practicum class. The first assignment included interviewing an athlete and writing a short piece to record and edit, with a keen ear for sound.
