Radio sfatii
By Rachel Waterhouse
WUSC-FM, USC's radio station,
has exoerienced few Droblems since it
I increased its wattage and changed its
frequency, according to a station
executive.
Jim Corbett, WUSC member-atJarge,
said during the first few weeks
of the increase the station experienced
technical problems. He said after the
kinks were worked out, the station
returned to "normalcy."
The station increased from 10 to
(fr 3,000 watts and switched its frequency
!to 90.5 from 91.9 Feb. 25.
WUSC is still the "new kid on the
block" and will be for a while, but the
increase has brought the station
credibility in the community, Corbett
said.
i People as far away as Pelion and
Newberry who were surprised to hear
the station on the radio have called the
station. A disc jockey from Columbia
radio station WZLD-FM sent WUSCjj
FM a "welcome to the air" letter
shortly after the power increase.
I i 'jfc "People who have never heard us
if before have called and said 'glad to
J'fc hear you,'" Corbett said. "Power
i J does everything for a radio station."
j| Corbett said WUSC hasn't received
complaints since the increase.

Also representatives from the
Maranatha Christian Center will be
debating such issues as rock music and
homosexuality in a future show.
The station is trying to get away
from taped programs such as ones used
in the past and is broadening topics
to include the community, Snell said. .

They are asked their name, where
they are calling from and their question,
Snell said.
He said two callers have been rejected
because they didn't have serious
questions to ask.
The station used a delay system on
the first program, but discontinued it
because it was a "technical inconvenience,"
said Marc Fink, WUSC sta

Sr.ell said his guests have been very
receptive and he has received calls

Fink said the station has finished a ]
very successful training program for j
new members. The program, run by j
graduate assistant Nina Frankel, has |
put nine new people on the air. Several
more are expected to go on the air J
before the end or tne semester, rinx
said.
Because of the power increase,
WUSC has had to institute a comprehensive
program to train people
more responsibly for the air, Fink said.

songs and usually plays all the songs
on an album instead of one or two.
"We are not in competition with the
community stations," Corbett said.
He said he sees no big changes occurring
in the immediate future
because all the major changes have
already taken place. Now WUSC will
be refining and readjusting its music as
they do every semester, he said.
"I think for residents of the
Midlands the success of alternative

not seeing, is believable," Fink said.
