A few ’71ers and members of adjacent classes who were student broadcasters at WYBC have reconnected to reminisce about our WYBC experiences, to hear how the station has evolved since our time, and to learn more about the current state of radio.
We’ve organized several Zoom sessions already. One featured a fascinating summary of developments at WYBC from the late ’60s to today, presented by Ken Devoe ’69, who currently serves on the station’s Board of Governors. In another, a highly regarded industry researcher shared his data describing current trends in radio — and their implications for the future. A recent session focused on what current WYBC student members are doing. Spoiler alert: they have created a robust internet radio station: WYBC X.
We invite classmates to attend these lively sessions. Everyone is welcome — you don’t have to be a WYBC alum to attend. Our latest Zoom on May 19, 2024 reviewed that pivotal period in the late ’60s when we were there. Guest panelists included ’71 classmates Mitch Kapor and Tim Powell. Watch this space for future events. For details, email our group organizer, Kevin McKean ’74 kevin@mckeanmedia.com
This is not a fund-raising endeavor. It’s just an opportunity for us to re-connect and discuss WYBC and related developments in the media.
We hope to see you.
Thanks,
Tim Powell
