We will have a booth set up with information packets etc. about the station. We are looking for prizes to be given away for best costume, etc. 

Volunteer Coordinator Named

Sean Griffin has been named Volunteer Coordinator of WMCB and will soon be contacting all active DJs to discuss their volunteer activities. Sean presently produces "Listen 2 Griffin" on Tuesdays 4-6. Sean brings a lot of enthusiasm to the position and is looking forward  helping to move WMCB forward. According to Owen Weaver, Sean also does an amazing Patrick Swayze impersonation.

Podcast Update

I recently spoke with GCTV Station Manager Scott MacPherson about the status of pod casting WMCB programs.
Full pod casting is still six weeks away by Scott's estimation. Some DJs have asked about pod casting from their own sites. I told a couple that they were the owner of their own sites and can do as they please on them. Scott warned that without a proper license from ASCAP, BMI etc. DJs may be liable. Also, he wants all the pod casts to emanate from one site so that listeners can be better tracked.

Meet the DJs: Jackie Rose

Jackie Rose produces Northern Star Radio which can be heard each week on WMCB Friday night at 7 and Sunday at noon.


Jackie Rose brings her unique vision of beauty and meaning to the hills of Western Mass, incorporating all types of contemporary music, poetry and prose, addressing and promoting events and current events that affect our community and our world. Jackie's show is whimsical, fun-loving and down-to-earth. Like the seed that struggles through darkness to finally burst forth into the light of day, Jackie brings together all of her life's experiences in this radio program, reflecting light, love, beauty and encouragement...finding meaning through heartache, beauty through pain...the ceaseless search for healing, for *true hearing*, for *true speaking*, the ever-spiraling upward toward the Transcendent *Is* that guides the lost sailor upon the seas of life...this is Northern Star.
