Hello Falcon Radio Fans!
HAPPY NEW YEAR! As the semester starts, I have been reflecting on some of the benefits students take advantage of while in Radio Broadcasting and working with KVCB. I originally settled on three main benefits: critical thinking, Christ-based programming, and learning to emphasize the audience.
First, students develop critical thinking skills - in radio broadcasting, technical problems can happen without notice! They learn that they always have to have a Plan B.
Second, having Christ-based segments emphasizes the role of faith in our programming. KVCB has increased the percentage of Christian Contemporary music we play, in addition to Morning Devotion segments where students discuss Bible verses on air.
Third, being an audience-centered show teaches students how to appeal to different demographics. They learn to be people centered and not self centered.
As we enter the New Year, our classes will have some new features: we will enter the John Drury High School National Radio Contest hosted by North Central College in Naperville, IL! We will enter five categories including Radio Drama.
Our Morning Shows continue at 9:35 and 11:30 am Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. We will also do some remote broadcasts, so stay tuned!
In His Service,
Gary Dreibelbis Ed.D
KVCB 100.9 FM and streaming on Live 365 and Tune In
