Hey everybody!
How's winter break going? Mine is super awesome, thanks for asking. I, in my supreme position of program director emeritus ask you, no, beg you (if you want to DJ), to email our brand new PD Tanya to request a time slot. Email her about any questions you may have. Also, DJs and prospective DJs should join our new DJ listserv on google groups by going here. Thanks!
Happy New Year and here's to another great WQHS semester!
<3
Congrats to our new station manager, Kirsten Saracini, and three cheers for our outgoing station manager, Mike Murphy. This station's on it's way up thanks to Mike, and is sure to get even better with Kirsten in charge. I've been with WQHS for a while and seen it go pretty far in these last couple years. But the future's where it's at, and you should all be psyched.
...so that's probably the last you'll hear from me. Take good care of WQHS, DJs- get involved and make this station the best it can be. Keep tuning in listeners- these shows just keep getting better and more professional all the time. But most importantly- keep it real, friends.
Adios!
You folk might be noticing a few changes on this site. We are in the process of updating the website to make it look shiny and new! Please bear with us. Everything should, however, still work. If you encounter any problems, please let the webmaster know (here). Cheers!
Greetings faithful listeners. Hope you're staying warm out there- but just in case you need an extra lil' something, this lil' board of yours is giving you some special lil' DJs to listen to.
Put your hands together for Ms. Mary Kate Stopa and Mr. Dan Goldman. Eleven to noon might sound early, but it's worth waking up for the weekly Geography War (and for the truly intrepid, there's a 10 AM show keeping it real). Thanks for keeping up on our toes, freshmen! And thanks for the crazy themed playlists.
Also- muchas gracias to all who made our show on Friday a success. Door shifts rule!
That's all for now, folks. Please: keep it real.

WQHS alums, have you been feeling nostalgic? Looking to get in touch with DJs from years long (and I really mean long) past?
Never fear! The WQHS website is in the process of a redesign, and we've realized the error of our ways, and are seeking to add an alumni network section of the page. If you are interested in taking part in this exciting new endeavor, please contact the webmistress, Caroline, who will be happy to keep you updated and to make sure you find a place here on the WQHS website.
If you're like me, you set your watch by the announcement of WQHS's new DJ of the Fortnight. So I beg apologies for the one day delay (and hope you remembered to set your clocks back, too).
Once again we're gonna smack you around the head with no less than two DJs. This time the hardworking duo are Ms. Melissa Metelits and Mr. Jack Stanley, cohosts of The Elizabeth Tyler Show. (Bonus points for the Halloween themed set last week, kids.)
Recover from your weekly hangover in style every Saturday morning at noon, listeners; and keep up the good work, DJs.
We at promotions have calendars, and it didn't escape our notice that it's been two weeks since our last DJ of the Fortnight. So it's time for a new champion to claim the throne.
And without further ado, ladies and gentlemen, we give you Ms. Joyce S. Lee and Ms. Brooke Palmieri, hosts of WQHS's wildly successful talk radio programme Talk Talk. It's interactive and highly therapeutical and on every Sunday at 10!
We wish Brooke and Joyce nothing but the best! And we hope you all tune in every week.
Time keeps on slippin' (slippin') into the future, and you know what that means- a fortnight has passed, and a new DJ reigns supreme. Ladies and gentlemen, a round of applause for Mr. David Gottlieb! He's WQHS's brand spanking new DJ of the fortnight.
Tune in to his show Nights On The Symphony every Thursday night from 10 till midnight. Broaden your horizons, finally finish your bio homework, or polish off that bottle of Yellow Tail- classical music can do it all. And for those in the know, there's always world music at the end (see, we know our DJs!).
Congrats, David, and take heed, DJs- some day, all of this can be yours.

Salutations, DJs and listeners. Hope you're rocking yourselves along.
We've got some big news here: DJ of the Fortnight is here, and it's got it's own webpage! The first winners for the 2008 fall term are Mr. Nils Dahl and Mr. Max Hass! Be sure to tune into their show, Bully Ballads and Gorilla Grooves on Monday nights from ten p.m. till midnight.
So, that's the good word. Thanks for tuning in, and keep it real (really).
The schedule is filling up really quick so if you aren't on there and want to DJ for us, send an email to programdirector@wqhs.org right quick! Hop on it! Tell your friends! Hooray!
If you are a current WQHS DJ, you MUST be on the DJ listserv. To sign up, send an email to wqhs-djs-subscribe@yahoogroups.com with 'subscribe' as the subject.
Oh hello. I didn't see you there. Well since you're here, I might as well break it to you now before it just gets awkward later. Is that ok? Sure? Ok, here goes nothing. WQHS is now accepting fall show requests. Wow. That wasn't so bad. You should probably know that DJs and prospective DJs should send an email to programdirector@wqhs.org if not already done. Send your name, cohost name (if applicable), email and cohost's email, show name, and FIVE desired time slots. Shows can be any day of the week, are generally two hours long, and start/stop on the even hours. Also include in your email how many semesters, if any, you have been with WQHS and if you want to simply keep your slot from last semester. Check the schedule page in two weeks to see what you ended up with. Training for new DJs will be arranged closer to the start of classes. Email any questions as well. Please, stop crying. It's not a big deal. You knew it would come to this eventually. Oh, tears of joy? You're happy about this? Well. Good. I'm glad. I'm happy too. I think we are both going to be much better off now. I'll always love you. You know that. Stay in touch, though. Like really. You better email me.
Until next time, peace, love, and internet radio.

...ergo, the summer is beginning. Check out the brand-spankin' new summer schedule and start tuning in for your favorite WQHS shows starting on May 14th. Sorry if programming is a bit sparse till then- DJs have finals too.
So thanks for hanging with us this year! We had some good concerts, a ton of great shows, and a happy season over all. And we've got big plans for the fall, so keep your ear to the (under)ground....
Hey everyone, We're back on the air after the internet blackout. Thanks for bearing with us, enjoy!
The action starts at 9PM sharp, so don't be late!
Congrats to Sarah Stoecker and Grace Ambrose, who are (still) WQHS's DJs of the Fortnight. These girls, on their noon-2 Saturday show "Not Saying, Just Saying", have been smashing the listener count and generally rocking out. Eagle-eyed WQHS fans may recall that Sarah and Grace were DJs of the Fortnight many moons ago, before winter break, but they're just so good they earned it a second time, too. Congrats, girls, and stayed tuned for the next announcement, listeners.
Calling all new DJs!
The first DJ training (and first part of the becoming a DJ process) of the semester will be Saturday at 3PM at the station (Room 504, Hollenback Building, 3000 South St.) It will take about 3o minutes. Please be on time. This is mandatory of you haven't DJed at WQHS before and optional for returning DJs. Please email me at programdirector@wqhs.org and let me know you will be attending. If you can't make it, email me anyway so we can work something else out.
