Because it is on a student radio station you can have fun with it and not worry about being serious all the time. The athletic department expects a much more professional product than it has gotten in the past, especially with the basketball games. In an attempt to help the station reach these expectations, the athletic department had made an effort to put together programs for broadcasters. In spite of its efforts, the athletic department may never be completely satisfied. This might be because their expectations of the students are too high.
Professional commentators do hours and hours of preparation before every game.
With the demanding schedule that almost every Dartmouth student has, such preparation is impossible. Students usually only have enough time to learn the players names and numbers and a few key statistics. With this thought in mind, the athletic department has contemplated turning to professionals to broadcast Dartmouth sports. One very legitimate option would be to have Q 106.1 FM, which has shown considerable interest many times in the past, become the official station for Big Green athletics. The college, however, wants the student station to remain in its current position.
