More than just . . . Music in the Air BY: Teresa Johnson WMKY is a licensed, regional radio station, not a labo- ratory. Since it began in 1965, more than 700 students have gained practical experience there. Students are important and we use them in every facet of the operation, said Judy Flavell, promotions coordinator. WMKYoEers a variety of areas for students to work in: broadcasting, print journalism, audio production and promotions. This gives them an opportunity to choose an area that relates to their studies, or simply something that interests them. I like working for WMKY because is gives me practi- cal, hands-on experience thatis good for learning, and putting on a resume, said Dave Gray 9. radio-television major from Morehead. Cray works as a board operator and a feature producer. Working at WMKY is not restricted to radio-television majors or minors. There are j obs that require knowledge in other areas of communications, such as speech and journalism. Students from disciplines of study outside of commu- nications are also welcome. Scott Dobler, host of iiAn Evening With . . . is a geography major from More- head who is applying to meteorology school. iiI like working at WMKY because its interesting. It lets me listen to world events, get exposure to music and earn money, he said. Dobler has been working at the station for the past year. The students are in an actual job situation and are given responsibilities that would be expected at any ra- dio station, such as hosting shows and working the board. It is critical to the functioning of the station that each of them do their job. uThe best part of the experience is that its real, said Flavell. WMKYand the students benefit from the student par- ticipation. uWe canit run the station without them and they need the experience we otter? said Flavell. . Students are critical in the functioning of WMKY, public radio station located on Ward Oats Place. Programs Director, Susan Westfall depends on students to get many jobs done. PHOTO BY: Kevin L.
