This is how we do

WRGW's sports programming kicks off in less than an hour. Every weekday afternoon, you can hear one of our shows between four and six by going here or here. I know that they're typically not up to par with the professional productions that you hear on the real radio, but all of us involved try as hard as we can to put out the best product possible. On behalf of the entire department, we appreciate any support we can get.

In other radio news, it was reported
recently that WTWP is slated to go off the air later this month. As you are probably aware, WTWP is the professional home of men's basketball broadcasts. This is in no way official, but from what I've heard in various conversations, no one seems to have any answers regarding the Colonials' radio rights.

Byron Kerr has certainly been an asset to the GW program and a great supporter of our station. He's a talented broadcaster, and he's equally as good of a person. Here's to hoping something gets figured out that allows him to remain the voice of the Colonials. Hopefully WRGW doesn't become to sole broadcaster of men's games; I don't think anyone would win in that situation. I'm not disrespecting our broadcasters by saying that: obviously, a professional broadcast is going to sound better than anything a college station can muster.

Having the Colonials on WTWP was good for the program's image. Hopefully the powers that be are able to find a viable solution.
