Radio-Active: How 3 UA-Based Radio Stations Are Shaping Alabama

WVUA 90.7 Program Director Andrew Jauregui admits that the experience of student radio workers, often in individual, soundproofed rooms, can be a little isolating, so he stresses connection and community through meetings and get-togethers. "Because student media, especially here, has a really great culture," he said. "I feel like it's easy for us to get weighed down with the day-to-day tasks of what we have to do to keep the station running," WVUA 90.7 Station Manager Kathryn Rachford agreed. "But as station manager, I want to take my extra time to be able to plan events and get-togethers or even hosting live bands, just things that can bring people in and reunite us."
