WUSCs position is difficult because tiere are conflicting demands placed n the station. As one of the last free-form stations 1 the nation, WUSC is locally famous >r its diverse musical programming. From 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., the station lays a combination of featured new lusic and selections by the on-air disc >ckey. Unlike commercial stations that ;ature singles, WUSC rotates entire lbums, not just a few songs. "You really have to work to hear Tyson Pettigrew Hie Gamecock inces during his radio show at tefle genres of music during the iming the rest of the day. ^ s ?1|| IMtS Services i ^E1 >lores ning s] the same track twice," said Alexander, who is a junior. From 6 p.m. to midnight, the station's programming consists of genre-specific specialty shows that range from jazz to metal and dance and country. Promotion Director Shawn Fry jokingly re fers to the two hour shows as "radio for a short attention span." These primetime programs cater to fans of specific genres of music and to the station's loyal group of listeners. Many of these shows focus on styles of music that are not commonly heard on other stations. Genres like the blues, Celtic music, world beat, and Latin music are all showcased. In addition, other shows explore the underground of genres like punk, hip hop, dance and oldies. Begining next Friday, The Gamecock will have a weekly showcase of these unique shows. In addition to musical specialty 5? : %% ?v \ i i "i-'SM?r it ft "I ' -u'-.V.yU. )> %%f#| liilhrU' 1 tent of chronic ami acute illnesses Annual J race/it iue management Hormone replace/in ? _ Sf 'C. musi pecialt shows, the station will be airing talk shows this semsester focusing on everything from sports to community affairs. Fry said he is most excited by plans for a weekly community talk show covering activities of student organizations both on the USC campus and other school organizations in the Columbia area. Fry said he hopes that these new shows will allow the station to capitalize its unique ability to reach people off campus. The WUSC staff and schedule for this semester are still looking for new members, and there are plenty of opportunities for students who want to get involved. Weekly meetings are Thursdays at 7:30 p.m. For more information, call the WUSC station office at 777-7172 or the DJ on air at 777-4165.
