Welcome to the KWSC Radio & TV studios! Tour the new studios and meet some of our current and recent air-staff members!


(Click images to see larger versions.)

The on-air radio control room, above right, built when the studios relocated to the top floor of the Humanities building, features a PC-based automation system, above left, used for live-assist during day and evening hours and turnkey automation overnights and during some weekend hours.  A second computer is used for live chat between the DJs and listeners.  Three guest microphones are used for talk shows and interviews. 

The TV control room, left, and adjacent editing bays, allow Video Production and Television Workshop students to produce in-studio programs, live remote productions (such as athletic events), and longer form creative projects. Students use digital cameras and Avid editing software.

Two audio production rooms, above, equipped with Adobe Audition serve as digital audio production work stations for radio and TV students.

The studio has a set and lighting that can be adjusted for all types of productions. On the let, John Frost (2006) Ashley Micak (2006) Tasha Burnett (2008) work with visiting actor and film director John Carlos Frey to tape an episode of 'Full Circle" KWSC-TV's award winning public affairs program. On the right, the television workshop class rehearses a newscast.

Radio and TV engineer Tom Schmitz plays a critical role, keeping the TV and radio equipment functioning, preparing for remotes, and serving as Chief Operator of KWSC-FM, monitoring for compliance with FCC technical rules.  His engineering shop is adjacent to the TV studio. 

KWSC radio and TV students prepare to broadcast the Homecoming Parade, assisted by KWSC engineer Tom Schmitz.

Although thousands of songs are in the K92 computer, live DJs play music from CDs, based on the format of the Music Director.

K92 students DJing for the Welcome Back picnic the day before fall classes began had a visit from Wayne State College President Richard Collings.

A series of special events and remote broadcasts keeps K92 students involved in the campus and the community.

The Associated Press Newsdesk service provides news, sports, and weather information to round out material produced locally.

The K92 transmitter remains on top pf the Peterson Fine Arts Building with the transmitter adjacent to the former control room.
