I'm now officially a DJ for WLOY Baltimore (Loyola College Radio, 1620 AM). I have one 2-hour show per week, but the timeslot hasn't been determined yet. I'll be playing a mix of 70's rock through current alternative, with 3-song blocks roughly every half hour.

You can stream WLOY over the Internet as well. Instructions for WinAmp, iTunes, RealPlayer, Windows Media Player, and XMMS can all be found on that page.

Wish me luck!

Rock on, play some good shows. It's really fun, you get to control what your town listens to

when will you be on? I'll listen.

Can we call in and harass ya?

FJ: Thanks. It's a great feeling of power indeed.

pun: Dunno yet, gonna call them up now as a matter of fact to schedule all that stuff.

woodchip: Yes you can. I'm not gonna give the number out here, you'll just have to listen to the show to make your demands requests.

Cool stuff. I bet the five people on-campus who listen will be really excited.

You better listen too, damnit... you probably get the signal up there.

I'd listen but I'm in the frosty northwest.

Thats frikin awsome! Good luck!

FJ: You can stream it over the Internet. No matter where in the world you are, if you have Internet access you can listen to WLOY.

Oh cool, good for you.

Grats DC! When I'm out that way I'll tune in.

By the way, if anyone's got some good suggestions for alternative/rock, I'd be more than happy to accept them. If you can, provide me with some sort of sample (link to band's website). If it's good, I'll talk to purchasing to get the CD. That's the benefit of college radio, I guess.

Congrats, DC. Will there be joking, newscasting and ranting or just spinning with the ocassional station identification?

If you are doing 70's rock play "All the young dudes" by mott the hoople (David Bowie the writer).

They will think you are homosexual but not quite because mott the hoople were actually straight but the lyrics are very homosexual but they canâ??t pin that on you, you are just playing a track. Itâ??s the oldest trick in the book.

bash: Joking, newscasting, and ranting will be part of the flow, but I've gotta find a decent co-host for that to fly.

TheCope: I actually like that song.

on the radio no-one can tell you can't smile DC

do you get money for it?

roid: No, it's strictly volunteer. Which I don't mind, since I really enjoy doing it.

I hit the air this Saturday from 1 to 3 pm. This week's show will be prerecorded, but starting next week I'll be going live. Do me a favor and tune in, and lemme know what you think I could be doing better.

Rumor has it we're getting Foo Fighters to play at Loyolapalooza this year (our annual spring festival). If that works out I'm going to try my damndest to get an interview going with them.
