WCCH 103.5FM, Holyoke Community College
“Our station is going the 24 hours! We are having guests from other radio stations, community and commercial, drop in and talk about records, maybe spin a few as well. DJs have split the day with many overlapping timespots for co-hosting. We have a list of fun record facts we will be saying throughout the day and a list of all the local record stores and how they are participating that day. DJ’s have all brought in their own records as the station only had a handful left from the old mail-promotion days. There will likely be a mix of pop and classic rock, as well as reggae, hip hop, jazz and classical! We have one DJ “The Mad Hatter” who always plays funny random sound bytes for transitions and he skips around genres. He is going to be spinning random clips from a Flintstones and other storybooks read aloud record another DJ brought in. Looks like it will be just as wacky as ever! The most people will be in around 10-12 so we might do a big talk segment when we have them.”
