Where's the
Music?
by Kristie Guldner
Collegian Staff
'At tehrend, Slucftti have
the cippoitunity to participate
in a fully operational radio
station: AM 1450 WPSE.
One of the problems that
students say they have with
the radio station is that it
does not play music,
according to Station Student
Manager Val Engelleiter.
"A lot of students who
sign up find out we don't
play music and drop Commu
003 (radio practicum)," said
Engelleiter.
WPSE's purpose is defined
by Penn State in a mission
statement. This says that
WPSE "is ._ to provide
information to the
community in forms that are
generally unavailable
through other broadcast
media sources."
Fred Anzivino, the station
manager, said the station is
not around to play music,
but to provide an educational
chance.
"We're not here to play
music," Anzivino said.
"We're here to give the
students a learning
experience that is unlike any
you will ever get at another
college station."
Anzivino said the Federal
Communications
Commision (FCC) helped to
dictate the audience for the
station.
"The FCC told us that our
community is where our
signal is carried," Anzivino
said.
The mission statement
also states that the
"community here is broadly
defined to include all
Page
audiences capable of
receiving information
originating from the station's
broadcast facilities, including
College student and Erie
County audiences."
Although the station does
not play music, Engelleiter
believes the station is a good
experience for those
interested in radio.
"I've gotten the experience
I need, technical, on air.
managerial, and production
since I will be going into
radio," Engelleiter said.
Anzivino said there are
some things at WPSE that a
student can not get at most
other college stations.
"There are things you can
do here that you can't do at
any other college, like
working with a major
network like CBS, PSU
sports, play-by-play
basketball, and working with
satellite technology,"
Anzivino said. "The
equipment is state of the art
and the sales side is big too."
Another benefit that
Anzivino sees with the
station is the affiliation with
national networks, which
broadcast programs across
the country.
"Because we are affiliated
with the networks, we get
market exclusivity and
premium programming like
the World Series and the
Super Bowl," said Anzivino.
Because of University
cutbacks, the station has two
years to become self
supportive, Anzivino said.
The station will become self
supportive by seeking
advertisers within the
broadcast wee.
