> there
> are almost a dozen new DJs on WSUiR <http://wsuir.wichita.edu/>!
> Check out
> our newly formatted
> schedule<http://wsuir.wichita.edu/schedule/schedule.php>to see what's
> on right now... hey, you're already online, it'll take 10
> seconds to get in the loop <http://wsuir.wichita.edu/index.html>
> and see
> what's new. At your Halloween party* Friday night, tune in at 9 to
> let the
> Lexicon Devil Halloween* show and Liquid Sunshine Radio's *John
> Zorn*episode set a spooky mood.
>
> COLLABORATION with past *After-Midnight DJ John Crowe* and WSU's
> *ElliottSchool of Communication* has led to fresh content and
> exciting conversation
> about the future of the station.

> LIVE BROADCAST: This Tuesday, 7:30. WSU Symphonic Orchestra,

> YOU YOU YOU: We are also rejuvinated in our efforts to expand the
> functionality of our website to make it more of a community
> resource for
> listeners, volunteers and artists. Which brings me to *you* - as we're
> designing this resource, we'd like to create a site that truly
> makes sense
> to those using it. We'd like to color-code our shows in some way so
> youmight scan quickly to see what else you may want to tune in for,
> based on
> shows you already know you love. For a genre-free station with DJs who
> program an eclectic mix, assigning genres seems a bit too
> restrictive. What
> would make sense to you? What would help you navigate our new
> (currentlysuper-secret) site once it's out? We plan to include more
> local happenings
> and promote more community interaction through our online presence.

> Please shoot your ideas our way (you can simply respond to this
