WOBC airs day and night to mixed reviews

Some students enjoy constant ariplay

Recently students wandering around Wilder Bowl at all hours of the day and night have been able to hear the radio shows of some disc jockies (DJs) because the windows of the studio have been opened and the volume turned up. This tradition is a common spring ritual for many DJs, as they reserve the right to blast their tunes for all to hear.

Rebecca Ross, WOBC station manager, explains that the spring weather influences some DJs to broadcast their shows out the windows, even though they know that it disturbs some people. "I've tried to address it and talk to people about it," Ross said.

For the past few days, some students walking through the Bowl on sunny afternoons have said that they enjoy the unique sounds of the DJ's shows. Enrique Ramirez, a junior, said, "I like to listen to the eclectic sounds ... especially when the sun is out."

However, not all students share this sentiment. Senior Mei Song said, "I think it's a nice idea, but I wish the music was better."

Not all DJs feel that playing out the windows is a necessary part of their shows.

Senior Michael Isaac, pop DJ, said he believes one of the reasons DJs are choosing to play their music out the windows is that "not enough people are listening to them on the their own radios ... [it] gives them exposure to the music while sitting around"

Senior Faye Beilis, also a pop DJ said, "Everyone wants to hear music."

Considering the probable continued good weather, WOBC encourages anyone who has a problem with their volume to contact them.
