The main thing is that I *hate* commercial music stations. I think WRFG would be a perfectly fine choice as it's the music that is the main attraction, not the particular station. I don't necessarily thing that having a show on WRAS or WREK would necessarily enhance our profile or boost our listenership, since this is programming that would cater to a niche audience anyway. When I did my show on WQFS, which was the radio station of Guilford College in Greensboro, NC we had a number of non-students who did shows. However, I imagine that a higher profile college station like WRAS probably has a sizable waiting list of students who want to DJ. Once we have a broadcast platform in place we can advertise it, perhaps in Creative Loafing or something like that. The thing to emphasize with WRFG is that this isn't just some 70s classic rock nostalgia trip. We're talking about music that won't get airplay any other place that includes bands from the sixties to the present. Now that' what *I* call "alternative" rock. Chris Hosford
