Behind the microphone at SHU's radio station WHRT you can hear DJ's playing several different music genres such as rock, punk, emo, acoustic and jam band.
Whatever your preference in music, you can count on it being played on channel 6, SHU's music broadcasting channel. WHRT's DJ's play a wide range of music and take requests as well.
"We play all types of music because we want to appeal to everyone. We play metal, classic rock, country, show tunes, pop, and soft rock. We figure everyone who walks in the hall is going to hear us so we might as well give everyone a little something to enjoy," said, sophomore, Kelly Linskey, Seal Beach, Calif.
Listening to the station gives students the chance to communicate through music. In addition, there are many different upcoming events that will be put together by WHRT.
"This year there are a lot of new DJ's and they are all playing different types of music. My show plays anything from Kanye West to Metallica. Everyone can find what they want to hear," said sophomore, Matthew Doino, Valley Stream, N.Y.
Some events sponsored by WHRT that may surprise you include a karaoke night, a showcase of bands for the students to perform, and possibly DJing for other events around school.
Coming soon is an exciting new program called Web cast, in which WHRT will be connected to. With this program, listeners can hear the shows live and access it anywhere there is a computer and Internet connection.
"Anyone will be able to access our website, and it will stream the music that is playing on WHRT at that time," said junior, Dana Cannizzaro, Clifton, N.J.
"There will be the schedule of the DJ's and when their shows will be on the air, events, and possibly brief descriptions of the stations DJ's," said Cannizzaro.
