Inside
I found Stan Robinson (left) and Freeman Morgan.
Stan
was the Station Director when WOBC first began broadcasting in FM in
1961-62. For the previous decade, the station had been AM only,
available only in certain specially-wired dorms.
Freeman
is one of about nine volunteer "community DJs" at the
station; he's been doing a show there for 17 years, currently
bluegrass and gospel on Sunday afternoons. (Except for these
community DJ's, the staff has always consisted of college students.)
We
talked in what was known in my day as the Outer Office, near where
the staff mail slots used to be. The map on the wall shows that
this room and the Inner Office are now lined with music, old LPs as
well as modern CDs.
