GM Report

Our continuing series of articles about the history of WWUH has resulted in numerous listeners coming forward with their own WWUH stories! I've spoken to two folks who have been regular listeners since the station first came on in 1968(!) and more than a few who have been listening for three or more decades.

If you have WWUH stories you'd like to share, please send them along.

WWUH History: 1969 - Year Two

In this installment of our continuing series on the history of WWUH, we look at 1969/70 school year.

Station management consisted of Clark Smidt, Randy Mayer, Ken Kalish, Neil Portnoy, Bob Kunik, Jerie Dahmer, Bill Crepeau, David Valfer, Ronnie Berger, Dave Alper and Michael Ditkoff.

In a January 9, 1969 memo to the university community, Clark Smidt wrote:

"WWUH gained enough listeners to be included in the October survey of the metro Hartford area by the American Research Bureau, WWUH-FM has an overall .6% of the total audience. This means that there are at least 4000 people listening to the station whenever it is on the air. And from 7 pm to midnight, we had 3.9% of the 18-24 crowd. It may not seem like much but in October, WWUH was only three months old!

"An on campus survey revealed that 100% of the administration had FM radio and that 71% of them had listened to WWUH at least once. 67.5% of the students had FM radios but a total of 90% of them had listened to WWUH!

"Right now our schedule is as follows:

Monday – Friday

6-9 am Rock

4-7 pm Easy Listening

7 pm Classics

9 pm Jazz

12:30 pm Progressive Rock

Saturday

7 am – 7 pm Rock

7pm Jazz

10 pm Progressive Rock

Sunday

11am Easy Listening

3 pm Jazz

7 pm Talk

7:30 pm Opera

10:30 pm Progressive Rock

"As of February 10, the new WWUH will be on the air with a carefully prepared rock format (with Top 40, Oldies, Progressive and L.P cuts) from 6 am to 5 pm daily, and again from 10pm to 2 am. Although we will remain mostly a stereo station, MONO CUTS WILL BE USED in playing new hits and leaning on good sides that other stations with tighter play lists refuse to play. 5-10 pm will be devoted to quality, stereo programming with the emphasis on news features, classics, talk features and jazz.

  "I hope we can count on your for continued service in ALL areas, in Stereo when possible…but if you don’t have it, please send mono so we have the record."

Programming continued to expand as more and more students and faculty became aware of and involved with the station as volunteers. The number of listeners grew as well, as shown by the increasing number of calls and letters the radio station received.

The station’s schedule expanded with the start of the fall semester. Signing on at 2 p.m. every day easy listening was heard until 6 p.m. From 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. jazz was aired. Progressive rock rollowed until sign off at 2 a.m. Press releases of this period refer to the station as “Hartford’s ‘Think Ahead’ Station”.

WWUH was the only station broadcasting live from the October 15th Mobilization in Washington, DC.

Live musical performances were a mainstay of the station's programming; with many performances presented live or pre-recorded live. Recording engineer, Bob Katz, was instrumental in making these live broadcasts sound technically superior. 

2nd Semester, Spring 1970

With Clark Smidt graduating, the students at WWUH held elections for a new Executive Committee (ECOM) on April 15 with the following results: General Manager: Ken Kalish, Station Manager: Willaim Crepeau, Claude G. Schleuderer - Program Director: Charles Horwitz, Business Manager: Philip Cabot, Chief Engineer: Charles Allen, Members-at-large: John Eppler and Charles Prunier, Music Director: Stuart Kaufman

In April, Stuart Kaufman stepped down as Music Director and Ann Harte took over the demanding job.

The station’s first Marathon started at 9:00 p.m. on March 20 and ran for ten days with a goal of $2000. $2040 was received in pledges.

WWUH carried all of the UH basketball games, including the annual court duel from Trinity College.

According to a station press release “The Hartford area will be flooded shortly with 3,000 ‘black-light, day-glo’ automobile bumper stickers, emblazoned on a black backround, in red and orange will be the legend WWUH-FM,91.3 STEREO LISTEN AHEAD”.

There was much discussion about subscribing to an audio news service such as Mutual Network News. Mutual was available for free, but the station would have to pay for the line charges. The ECOM decided that if network news were to be carried, it would be scheduled so as not to interrupt Classical programming, or it would be run after midnight. Also, UPI would be dropped. The staff was evenly divided about whether carrying some type of national network news would fit in with the station’s philosophy of airing local programming. Some thought that it was contrary to this philosophy, while others thought it added quite a bit of professionalism to the station’s sound, and provided the listeners with important information

An ECOM meeting in May 1970, centered on censorship and the responsibility of the station’s management versus the University as licensee. Staff members had aired “A Night at Santa Rita,” which contained several obscene words and had be previously prohibited by an ECOM vote for airplay. The record was eventually taken off the air in its second side of play, but an on-air discussion about censorship followed. 

As a result, the ECOM pulled several questionable records from the library because of the sensibilities of both the audience and the university’s administration. Caught between the concepts of providing first class, professional sounding programming and embracing the first amendment to its fullest, the ECOM felt secure in its decision as long as the University held the station’s license. 

Changes were made to the WWUH Constitution in 1970 to allow the station to receive funds from the Student Association, to allow for absentee ballots, and to provide for voting by proxy.

The ECOM was wary of its association with the Student Association as the SA had shown that they clearly didn’t understand what was involved with running an FCC licensed FM broadcast station. ECOM finally determined that the SA could audit the station’s financial records and could run the AM station, but they would have no control over the FM station. While the association with the SA was a positive thing, it also prevented community volunteers from having a direct voice in elections and other policy votes. 

At this time, all on-air personnel needed to have a third class FCC with Broadcast Endorsement license if they were alone in the studio. The station held training sessions for this license quarterly, and students organized car pools to Boston and New York City for the exams.  

Programming on WWUH-AM included the live broadcast of Student Association meetings (at the request of the S.A.) and football games from the athletic field.

March saw a ten-day, 240 hour broadcast marathon which raised $1300. Program Director Charles Horwitz was quoted in a press release: “We are offering something for everyone. We are the only college station operating this summer in the Greater Hartford area. We are portable for beach parties and surf-side rituals”. The Release goes on to say that Monday through Friday WWUH signs on at 9 an and goes to bed at 4 am. On Saturday the schedule runs from 10 am to 4 am and on Sunday the broadcast day is from 10 am to 2 am. New features in 1970 include newscasts almost ever hour on the hour with the help of WWUH’s affiliation with the Mutual Broadasting System. Summer features include “Poppy Fields,” a weekday 10 am folk-rock program, “Soul Sensation” at 8pm on Friday with Maceo Woods and “American Legacy Bonanza” three hours of folk music with Brian Lord. Weekdays at 5 pm WWUH airs three hours of Classical Music with the following hosts: Tibor Banlaki, Charles Horwitz, Sherman Novoson and Louis Gagnon.  

The 1970/71 budget, discussed at an ECOM meeting in April, included discussions on whether the station should purchase a toll-free WATTS line, Network News, an Ampex reel-to-reel recorder and back issues of records that the library desperately needed. The group also made plans to move the station’s transmitter to Avon Mountain, to a space provided WTIC. The engineering department also began construction on tape delays and speakerphones to facilitate putting phone calls from listeners on the air. Later that year, $5,000 of the Roth Grant money would be appropriated for an audio console for the FM studio, completion of the production board, and an EBS monitor.

In addition to operating the FM station, the staff continued to run WWUH-AM, which operated without an FCC license by broadcasting through the wiring in the dorms.  Because WWUH-AM did not need a license, there were no restrictions as to the airing of commercials, and WWUH-AM started selling airtime to businesses that wanted to reach the student population.  They money raised was to be used to help fund the FM station.  A commission schedule was finalized by the ECOM where 15% went to sales people (with no other reimbursement for expenses), 5% for Sales Manager (limited to 10% if he sells the ad), 2% for the business Manager and 1% for the traffic director who scheduled the spots. The station simulcast its programming on both FM and AM, and while a PSA ran on the FM a spot would run on the AM.

An April press release described the station programming this way. “WWUH is now on the air from 2p.m. to 2 a.m. on weekdays, and from 10 a.m. to 3 a.m. on weekends. In general, programming involves “easy listening” in the afternoon, classical programs in the early evening and college-oriented music until sign-off.

“John Labella announces the “easy listening” hours which includes the music of Laura Nyro, Joni Mitchell and The Moody Blues.

“A special feature on Friday at 5 p.m. is a folk music program directed by Brian Lord, a Navy veteran who hails from N.J. Lord, a liberal arts student, has evoked widespread interest with his droll, offbeat comments.”

Programming on WWUH-AM included the live broadcast of Student Association meetings (at the request of the S.A.) and UH football games from the athletic field.

Charlie Horowitz wrote:

“The time were right; agricultural products were in bountiful supply and quality was high and there was just enough air talent left over from the school year for Ken Kalish (bless his little pea-picking heart) to give me permission to keep Mother (the UH transmitter) up past her bed time. This was summer of '70 I think. The goal was to do midnight to 3am, 7 days a week and in some small way, compete with 'HCN. and the other underground sounds out there. Thought on Friday and Saturday nights, we saw no reason to stop before the sun came up. Ain't nothing like programming music for a sunrise (or sunset for that matter).

There were times when fun became drudgery and even pharmaceutical enhancement did help much to keep us going. But once the fall semester started, we had a whole new crop of talent, willing to do all nighters just for the privilege of doing a shift and play that evil rock and roll music. Funny how no one ever asked to do all night classics, folk or soul programming.

Well that's my story and I'm sticking to it.”

Michael Ditkoff reminisced in 2006:

“I remember one year, the station's exec committee went to the CBA's spring convention, conference, whatever in Groton, CT. The conference included a trip to General Boat or General Dynamics shipyard for the launching of the submarine Batfin. Senator Lowell Weicker, gave the keynote address. The conference was helpful for smoozing. Jon Eppler drove his car, a former Connecticut state police car, to the conference. I remember we stopped after a toll so we could ensure nobody got lost. He said through the car's loud speaker "Get back in the car, Mike." In April or May 1972, several station members attended the NAB (National Association of Broadcasters) convention in Washington, DC. Sometime during the smoozing, GM Phil approached the President, GM, whatever of WTIC, Leonard Patricelli, and asked if we could put attach our antenna to the WTIC weather tower. This is how we got permission. The gang of us stayed at the Windsor Park hotel, which today is the Chinese embassy. For a few minutes, I got to interview FCC Commissioner Nicholas Johnson, who was considered a rebel commissioner and took the license renewal procedure very seriously and encouraged public comment on renewals. He wrote the book How to talk back to your television set.”

Programming for September 2026

SUNDAY AFTERNOON AT THE OPERA

your "Lyric Theater" program

with Keith Brown 

SUNDAY SEPTEMBER 6th

 Dellaira, The Secret Agent  The 25th anniversary of the 911 World Trade Center disaster is coming up. This catastrophic event overshadows the Labor Day holiday on Monday. Normally I would try to present a recording of a "labor opera"- something celebrating the lives of the common American working folk in advance of their annually observed end-of-Summer national day off. But this year 911 "trumps" the holiday, so to speak, so I have programmed an opera by a contemporary American composer, Michael Dellaira (b. 1949) dealing with a terrorist act in Victorian times. Dellaira's The Secret Agent (2011) takes its story from the 1907 novel by Joseph Conrad about an unsuccessful attempt to blow up the Royal Observatory in Greenwich, England on February 15, 1894. This building was a symbol of British imperial might which overshadowed the whole world in those days. Remember, "The sun never sets upon the British Empire," or so 'twas said. The Secret Agent was commissioned by the Center for Contemporary Opera and received its world premiere in New York City at the Kaye Playhouse. Sara John conducts the small instrumental ensemble and large singing cast. Thanks to Rob Meehan, former classics deejay here at WWUH, for the download of The Secret Agent online release onto compact disc for broadcast purposes. The Secret Agent won the Armel International Opera Festival's Laureate Award.

SUNDAY SEPTEMBER 13th

 Ades, The Tempest It's hurricane season right now, the perfect time to listen to an operatic adaptation of Shakespeare's last play The Tempest (1611), which is set on a magical Atlantic isle reminiscent of Bermuda. Shakespeare's original spoken word play has gone over the air on this program during hurricane seasons of 1988 and 2004. The London LP's I drew upon were part of Decca/London's grand audio project: the complete recorded works of the Bard in stereo sound ,1957-64. (Caedmon Records of the UK had a similar project.) Shakespeare's plays always call for music. Henry Purcell wrote extensive incidental music for Thomas Betterton's 1695 production of The Tempest. Purcell's music for the play I aired on Sunday, April 22, 2001. The world premiere 2007 Covent Garden production was recorded live in performance with the composer conducting the Orchestra of the Royal Opera House and Royal Opera Chorus. Among the UK's vocal luminaries in the singing cast are baritone Simon Keenlyside as Prospero, tenor Ian Bostridge as Caliban and soprano Kate Royal as Miranda. A 2009 EMI Classics release on two compact discs. This isn't the first time I have broadcast a recording of an opera by Ades. His Powder Her Face (1995) went over the air on Sunday, June12, 2002.

SUNDAY SEPTEMBER 20th

 Alfano, Cyrano de Bergerac I learned in preparing these notes for the Program Guide that Savinien de Cyrano of Bergerac (1619-55) was indeed a real historical personage: hotheaded fencing dueler, wounded war hero and poet, whose satires got him into trouble with the powerful. There's even a contemporary engraved portrait of him, big nose and all. Edmond Rostand's 1897 play made that name world famous. Many great actors have portrayed Cyrano, among them Sir Ralph Richardson. Rostand's Cyrano de Bergerac, starring Richardson, with the cast of the Theatre Recording Society of the UK, was recorded for release on Caedmon stereo LP's in 1965. That Cyrano, the spoken word stage play, went over the air on this program on New Year's Day Sunday of 2006 , and prior to that, on Sunday, October 22, 1995. Italian composer Franco Alfano (1876-1954) composed his "heroic comedy" Cyrano de Bergerac (1936) to a French language libretto derived from the Rostand original. Franco Alfano is known to musical posterity as the colleague composer who completed Puccini's Turandot. His own Risurrezione (after Tolstoy, 1903) was one of the most popular Italian operas of its time. (I presented it on Sunday, May 22, 1999.) Alfano's Cyrano de Bergerac was revived by Kiel Opera in Germany in 2002. Markus Frank directs the Kiel Philharmonic Orchestra. Tenor Roman Sadnik takes the title role. A German cpo compact disc release.

SUNDAY SEPTEMBER 27th

 Verdi, Don Carlo This opera is Giuseppe Verdi's answer to the music dramas of Wagner. As Verdi originally wrote it for its 1867 premiere it was planned as the grandest of French grand operas to surpass the works of Spontini and Meyerbeer in that line: five full acts plus ballet sequence. Verdi was forced to scale it down for subsequent production outside Paris, This was the four-act Italian language version- the so-called Modena version of 1886, which was called Don Carlo. That version was recorded in 1971 for EMI/Angel, and had been newly remastered for LP reissue when I presented Don Carlo on this program almost exactly four decades ago on Sunday, September 28, 1986. It was digitally upgraded in sound for CD reissue in 2009 through Warner Classics. Carlo Maria Giulini directs the Orchestra of the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, and the Ambrosian Opera Chorus. Heard in the title role is the superstar tenor of that time, Placido Domingo. The other vocal principals are top notch, too. Soprano Montserrat Caballe assumes the lead female role of Elizabeth of Valois. There are many famous names in the rest of the cast: Shirley Verret, Sherill Milnes and Simon Estes among them. The story of the opera is taken from the German poet Friedrich Schiller's drama of political intrigue and national aspiration. Over the long haul of opera broadcasting I have programmed other recordings of the opera. A Naxos CD release of the Modena version went over the air on Sunday, May 23, 2004. (Alberto Hold-Garrido/Royal Swedish Opera prod., 1999.) Bob Walsh was the substitute presenter on that occasion.

Farmington Valley Symphony Orchestra is one of Connecticut’s premier community orchestras dedicated to promoting musical excellence. We believe that classical music provides a magical experience that inspires, delights, and brings our community together.

Founded in 1981, the Farmington Valley Symphony Orchestra performs 6-7 concerts each season with a variety of classical, romantic and popular holiday favorites. The orchestra serves Farmington, Canton, Avon, Simsbury, Burlington, Bloomfield, West Hartford & Hartford, as well as Greater Hartford and the Connecticut River Valley. We are your local, civic orchestra and look forward to seeing you at one of our concerts!
