Radio Bux is back this fall with new management, new voices, and even a new look. The Radio Bux studio, located behind the glass wall near the dining hall, has undergone some serious changes.
Rhiannon Oser, Radio Bux’s new president/studio manager hopes to bring new ideas to the table to gain more listeners.
“I’m trying to bring this into the new age” says Oser, as she is currently accepting applications for all student or faculty who have any ideas of talk shows, podcasts, or anything music related. Her plan is for every student to have their voices heard, and hopes to bring forward various clubs to come and speak on air and showcase what their club is about.
Oser and the rest of the Radio Bux team want to elicit a “broadcasting” feel on air, but can’t do that without the help of students. “This is all a work in progress, I’m working with Student Life, trying to get a Spotify going where students can go back and listen to all our weekly shows. I am really trying to get clubs on here and hopefully if students listen, it would even encourage them to join other clubs.”
Ryan Fealy, the faculty advisor of the club who is considered the “power horse” of it all, and Ian Sullivan, the host of the weekly sports show “The Sullivan Show,” are both looking forward to seeing all the new projects that will come from this. “This isn’t just about radio, but about broadcasting Bucks overall”.
Radio Bux wants to be a place where students can get all of their college related news without ever having to step on campus. They also hope it encourages more students to become involved with campus life.
They have an open-door policy at the studio, so students should feel comfortable to ask questions or become involved at any time. Radio Bux meetings are typically held on Wednesdays, but are subject to change.
