We installed the new board today. Don’t know if this is worthy of a blog post, but I couldn’t be more excited about this.
New Soundboard!

WKCO Presents: POP CULTURE BRUNCH – Sports (Or What Little We Know About Them)
This Sunday (March 31st) WKCO Presents: Pop Culture Brunch! Alex Borkowski, Hugh Wilikofsky and I (and the rest of our exec staff team) will discuss sports as they are represented in popular culture. We don’t know a lot about sports, but we’re going to try.
Some topics include:
Aaron Sorkin’s “Sports Night” – Why you should watch it (aside from the fact that it will save you about an hour next time you’re trolling Netflix for something to watch).
Underdog stories – Are they really the best? Do they characterize every sports film? Does anyone ever root for the overdog?
What ever happened to the Sandlot kids?
Tune in on Sunday at noon for the answers. Give us a call at 740-427-5411 and let us know what YOU think.

Aaaaaand we’re back!
The schedule is updated and broadcasting began today. Click the “Listen Here” link on our homepage to access worldwide global streaming online.
If you’re interested in becoming a WKCO DJ, we still have some open slots. The interning process can be done in a matter of weeks and you could have your own show before the semester is over! Come to the Intern Meeting at 10:15 this Thursday (1/31) in Philo.
Happy Listening!
Night at the Museum
Tonight! Night at the Museum. WKCO will be playing at the event tonight. Stop by the gallery between 6-11 pm!
Join WKCO Exec Staff
DJs:
Next year’s GMs (Alex Borkowski and I) want YOU to join WKCO exec staff. Since we are losing more than half of our staff (graduation. ugh.) we are in need of new members! Meetings occur 1-2 times a week and snacks are usually involved. Students of any year can join, although for seniors, it’s a little late for you.
Some of the perks of exec staff include (but are not limited to):
- looking legitimate by standing in front of everyone at DJ meetings
- better program times
- (USUALLY BUT STILL DEPENDENT ON SAO APPROVAL) moving back to Kenyon a week before everyone else
- extended knowledge of obscure and mostly irrelevant pop culture facts
- being one of the students who lead Kenyon’s largest student organization
- playing softball against Oberlin’s radio staff
- making pals
If any of these pique your interest, come to one of our exec staff meetings (Thursdays at 10:15 PM in the office [in the station {in the bowels of Farr}]) or email us at wkco91.9@gmail.com
