WPCR Almost Ready for Webcast
PSU's campus radio station WPCR 91.7 is finally signing contracts to webcast after a decade long attempt. PSU's Speare offices and internet radio network Live 360, are working together to set up the webcast as soon as possible. The webcast would allow anyone with internet access to listen to the station live at any time.
"It has been such a slow climb getting to where we are; now all sides have come to an agreement," WPCR president Nick Landry stated. The station has been trying to get contracted for live webcasting through their website for almost twelve years.
"We're the only station in the state without it," Miles Winzeler WPCR general manager stated. The webcasting costs $50 per year for an off-site hosting service, Live 360, for working with the WPCR website and providing streaming links. Landry stated, "Ideally people will be able to go to the website, WPCR.org, click 'listen now' and the website will synch live to the radio station."
"We're on the short and narrow now man, we're getting close. Contracts are getting signed and it's coming soon!" Landry stated. After the contracts are signed, WPCR's webcast will be up and running for next semester at the latest. The webcast is a huge opportunity for WPCR to gain listeners and increase campus involvement.
WPCR is looking to make other updates as well. The station now reports general news about every 2 hours but is looking to include more reports on campus relevant news. A sports talk show segment will also be added to the station. WPCR will be working with The Clock to help make these updates because, "For Plymouth news there's no one better," Landry stated.
The major updates for WPCR would not be possible without the dedicated efforts of the staff, including faculty advisor Paul Rogalus and program director Sean Noonan.
"We're really thankful for the enthusiasm and involvement from Chad Johansen and Kayla Banks and all the dedicated community members," said Miles Hartnett, a super senior here at Plymouth.
"Recently we've had an influx of new activism. We're making the radio more serious and we've had a good response, everyone is stepping up," Landry stated.
