Perry Gava and Rad Taylor, of Siena's Information and Technology Services, took care of the lines out to the internet service. WVCR went online Monday, but it took a few days to get the kinks out, according to Bill Sherman, director of campus programs at Siena. WVCR is the only local urban format station, either commercial or commercial free, with on-line live broadcast through the WebRadio service. Siena is also the only local college station on WebRadio. Alums from Providence, Rhode Island to Palo Alto, California can tune in to their alma mater's radio station.
Students studying abroad in Australia can listen in for some familiar sounds from home.
While D.C. radio is nice, it's refreshing to hear some of those familiar 88.3 voices. The station's format is a mixed bag, especially Sunday. Besides the regular music schedule, WVCR also broadcasts various Siena sports programs. With web broadcasting, fans from all over the world can tune into games live. The Siena Saints basketball teams, for example, finished tops in their divisions this year and provided a good show for fans.
