A party worth having 2-MAY-04

For our first go, it went very well! Thanks to everyone who helped with the Grand Re-opening/Reunion events and to all the alumni who visited us during the celebration. We had a diverse group who shared lots of wisdom and anecdotes from our station's history. We're working on the chronicles now and will add what we've got this summer.

Alumni: how the heck are ya?

Hey you DJs and friends from yesteryear, we have not forgotten you! Many of you live on in legends of 'The Prime of the SYC Empire' (you know--'back in my day'). Well, believe or not, we're doing OK without you (more or less) but we don't ever want to lose touch. In fact, this site is pretty much dedicated to you. Please sign the guestbook and/or drop a line to Alumni Affairs. Maybe you can help us reconstruct the WSYC space-time continuum. And for all of you graduating this year, keep in touch! You have our number. We're building an alumni page just for you.

If Night Train To Terror joins the show as rumor has it, that's 10 bands for 10 bucks!

Visit the official event page here for an itinerary, or check out the concert info here.

Our preliminary program schedule for the fall semester is now online. DJs, check it out and make sure everything's in its right place (everything...). Prospective DJs, there are lots of slots open, and it's up to you to fill them. SU expects about 1800 new Freshmen in the fall, so we hope for a bountiful new crop of members in September.

Concert admission clarification 22-APR-04

Feel free to give us personal contact information for all of your friends from your years at the station, too! (We're sure they won't mind.) We'll keep you posted on the plans as they develop.

Webcast update! For those of you who just don't see the point in radio anymore, WSYC is planning on pandering to your technological needs as it has in the past. That's right, very soon, we plan on having our broadcast right here on the web. No more hitting seek on that radio dial. Not that it ever leaves 88.7 FM as it is, but...well, you know, just in case. Keep checking WSYC.ORG for updates! We are here for YOU! — Kyle Boyer, General Manager

THU 11 SEP 2003
Message from our GM: It has been a great summer and now that the new semester is in full swing, so too is WSYC! We are working with a BRAND NEW STATION! Getting things started may take a few weeks, but not to worry, we will be bringing you the best music as soon as humanly possible. In the mean time we will be broadcasting Red Raider Sports on Redzonemedia.com, so listen in if you want to. Anyone with any interest in radio at all should contact myself, the General Manager right away! We want you at to be one of the many people who have had the chance to work at WSYC.

THU 11 SEP 2003
Why are we off the air? The entire student media section of the third floor of the Cumberland Union Building was remodeled this summer, bringing brand new facilities to WSYC-FM, The Slate, and SUTV. Our studios were completely gutted, floor to ceiling, which required us to put all our stuff in storage for several months. But finishing touches are now being made, and we should all be back in business in the next month or so. We'll post some photos soon. The station should be back on the air before the end of September, but we have no official date set yet. We hope to begin broadcasting in a limited capacity next week. Stay tuned!

MON 25 AUG 2003
Welcome back, boys and girls! The new studio is gorgeous! Let's keep it that way when it opens for business sometime mid-month (that's September, we hope). Stay tuned for further updates and a new site. Staffpersons, please send volumes of news, updates, postings, and any requests for the site to the Webmaster.

FRI 21 FEB 2003
Rumorflash! Preliminary talks have been held to discuss the station's future on the webwaves. Several options are being examined. That's about all we can say at this point, but we'll keep you posted. In the meantime, Raiders fans can find some games Webcast at Red Zone Media.

TUE 08 OCT 2002
Yes, with little fanfare, after a bit of down time while the station struggled to find a new Web administrator, the dot-org site is back up. You might be having a sensation of deja vu, since most of this has been republished from a 2001 version of the site. We're hoping the content will keep coming in so we can keep it fresh, but you know how it is—we'll see. Wish us luck. Your input and requests are welcome.

If you like to listen to music broadcast over the web, take a few seconds to fill out this form that will automatically contact your member of Congress and encourage support of legislation that seeks to prevent unfair and unaffordable performance royalties. WSYC can no longer broadcast over the Web because it is beyond our financial capacity. Help bring back WSYC's webcast!

AUG 2002
Apparently work on the new SU student media center on the third floor of the CUB has been postponed. Construction is now "scheduled" for summer 2003.

MAY 2001
UPDATE—Alas, the Webcast has been terminated. We're still trying to find an alternative, but new laws and the lack of an adequate free service will probably prevent us from resuming anytime in the near future.

20 APR 2001
UPDATE—Still looking, and still streaming through Webradio for now. We're going to try and see it through to the end of the semester. Don't ever say we don't care.

18 APR 2001
WSYC is trying to secure funding to extend Webcasting through Webradio.com, while simultaneously exploring alternatives. We're currently looking into a new venture called Frequency.net, but are still open to suggestions and assistance.

APR 2001
As of April 15, unless some kind of intervention occurs, WSYC will no longer have a Webcast partner and will therefore have no means of providing access to WSYC-FM's broadcast over the Web. Don't worry, we're looking into alternatives. Suggestions and recommendations for free or low-cost streaming audio providers are welcome. Please send all Webcast comments to the Webmaster.

FEB 2001
WSYC is currently working with The Slate, SU TV, CUB officials and other SU administrators to design a new SU student media center on the third floor of the CUB. Construction is slated to begin summer 2001.

MON 18 SEP 2000
Attention sports fans! Now you can tune into WSYC's Shippensburg University sports broadcasts on The Nauticom Sports Network.

WED 13 AUG 2000
– WSYC's e-mail addresses are working. If you had any trouble contacting the station or a staff member before, put your fears aside and try again. All staff members have an active "@wsyc.org" e-mail address now.

AUG 2000
If you hadn't noticed, our site is a bit different than it was last year. For one thing, it's in a different place. WSYC.org became the new home of WSYC's public Web presence last summer. We have a program schedule so you can know just when to tune in to hear your favorite music. We'll also have DJ profiles, so you can read up on your favorite DJ's interests, and even send them e-mail (ooh-ooh) and perhaps even chat with them live. Have any requests? We'll have a request box too. And of course, you'll also find the latest and greatest news from the WSYC-FM community, including local concerts and other events. First time here? Have something to say? Feeling lonely? Sign our (old) guestbook.
