The first organization to be featured in our A Look Inside segment is Longwood University’s WMLU radio station. WMLU is a student-led organization for those with a passion for a career in radio. This video will give you a behind-the-scenes look at what goes in to running WMLU.
Why WMLU?
Whether it is being on air or working behind the scenes, being a member of WMLU can give you the chance to learn and develop your skills in radio. WMLU provides each member with six hours of training that will teach you how to use the station’s radio equipment.
After completing the training, members of WMLU will be able to develop their own radio personality and present themselves professionally on air.
“Creativity is key, it can get you one step ahead of the game.”
– Jessica Mayo
Jessica Mayo is WMLU’s General Manager and she admits that one of the biggest appeals of the organization is the freedom to create. It also gives you an inside look at what it is like to have your own radio show and structure it to your personality.
If you have the desire to work in radio or you are simply interested in joining the crew, then visit their website at wmlu.org or sit in on one of their meetings, Sunday’s at 9pm in Hiner 207.
