A bittersweet week for me along the avenue has come to an end. Let us look back on the week that was…
- Introduced you to Leslie Stewart of Darling Stewie
- Took you down the runway at this year’s Best Dressed
- A photo I shot earlier this summer finally appeared on The Truth About Cars over three weeks ago; just now found the post (third photo is mine)
- And my summer internship with WFPL came to an end after five months of service
My internship at WFPL was one of the best experiences I ever had. No other job, paid or otherwise, has touched my heart the way this one had, so it was very hard to say goodbye. However, I did come away with this:
On my last day, WFPL producer — and “Outside the Box” subject — Laura Ellis and I recorded this aircheck so I could find employment either in public radio or elsewhere. Please pass this on to anyone you may know who is looking for new talent.
Until then, I leave you with a word from my blog’s mascot, Rarity. All the best.

That strikes me as a very good public-radio voice: animated enough to keep the listener awake, with none of the screechiness one finds toward the right of the dial. (Then again, our first NPR outlet was at 106.3. Go figure.)

Thank you! You could say that I’ve been influenced by talk radio in general; I started listening to news/talk in middle school, Don Imus and Art Bell being my first influences, as it were.
I take it the further right on the dial one goes, the more loud it becomes? Sounds a bit similar to a theory held by Don Geronimo of The Don & Mike Show, another of my faves. Geronimo once stated that the lower the channel number, the better the weather coverage. Not sure if that still holds true now that TV is digital, though. :)

The FCC hath ordained that 88.1 through 91.9 are reserved for noncommercial stations; the commercial hucksters start at 92.1. (Despite this, there are some noncommercial stations east of 92, including translators, which have boomed of late, but if you sell anything more than underwriting announcements, you’re barred from the left end of the dial.)
There’s some sense to what Don Geronimo says, at least in historical context, because the first channels opened were 1 (later discontinued) through 6. Seven through 13 came later, and UHF later than that. It’s reasonable to assume, therefore, that the oldest and most experienced stations will be at the low end of the dial. (Let’s see: WAVE 3, November ’48; WHAS 11, June ’50; WLKY 32, September ’61; WDRB 41, February ’71.) And even though most stations moved during the digital transition, a gizmo in TV sets displays the “old” channel. (WHAS stayed on 11.)
