You are also looking at the newest member of the WICB and VIC radio news staff! I went and got trained today. Basically, I will probably have about two shifts a week, and I do radio news cast on both stations, pretty much the same ones, but with local news and weather on WICB. What I do, is sort through the AP wire, the faxes we get from the county, and police reports and such, and write up a 3 minute newscast with a top story, 2 international stories and 2 domestic stories. On WICB, the local station, I'll add weather and a local story. VIC is a internet only station, so no local stories or weather apply. Sometimes I'll be responsible for putting in sound clips and such.
My first practice shift, before we settle down on permanent shifts, is on Monday for the five o'clock hour. That means I'll be doing the news at 5:28 on VIC and 5:46 on WICB.
Want to listen? VIC streams live from vicradio.org, and WICB streams live from WICB.org. Oh yeah, and WICB won the MTV Woodie Award for best college radio station in the country. Check it out. It's pretty awesome.
