Mahadeo was unsure if the station charged the former monthly fee over the eight-month school year or over the entire year. I believe the former two-dollar monthly fee was over eight months, he said. The fee went up, if you want to look at it that way, he said. They have access to the station for a year, when they might not have in the past. We re looking into reimbursing deejays, who don t work through the summer months, but our board of directors agreed that the fee is 25 dollars this year.
People can come in and look at the news aspect.
I want to start up a news broadcast. They would give the information and we d air pre-recorded news, he said. Some people have expressed to me the fact that it s a lot of money. We had worked out arrangements with those people that are equitable for both them and the station. I think less than five per cent of the deejays there would use turntables and the ones that do need them probably have their own and could bring them in.
