Broadcasters keep discs turning Broadcasting was more than its usual challenge due to wires sticking out of the walls, new equipment blocking the doorways, and pliers and screwdrivers decorating the floors at the beginning of the year. Larry Lewellen said, There was a little irritation because of the mess, but everyone knew it was just tem- porary. But the mess did not stop KDLX and KXCV from broadcasting, 18 hours a day. The chaos of remodeling transformed the broadcasting headquarters into new studios, offices and equipment for the radio stations and TV station. Also improved was the library of over 17,000 records— one of the largest record libraries in the area. The quality of produ ction was also improved by making the studios sound proof. In cooperation with National Public Radio, KDLX and KXCV regularly broadcast national and local news, weather and sports. KDLX kept students informed on campus happenings and played pop music, while KXCV played easy-listening music to the campus and surrounding area. KXCV also scheduled features like Static and Stereo where the most recent in rock music was played; Alive and Living with visits with interesting local people, and on the street interviews in down- town Maryville; and The Editor Speaks. A poll showed that 92 percent of all students listened to KDLX sometime during the day, said student station manager, Rodney Harris. The radio stations were more than just ex- perience for the broadcasters, but they per- formed a definite service in keeping everyone on campus informed and entertained.
