To all WRTI Friends:
As you may know, I am on the Professional Advisory Board for WBZC-FM, the radio station at Burlington County College in New Jersey. The station was established somewhat in the image of WRTI (the way it USED to be). It is intended to be a learning laboratory for students, and is receptive to a wide variety of programming. I think it is no coincidence that WBZC-FM was named the best college radio station in the U.S. -- in its first year of existence!!
WBZC-FM is looking for a new Program/Operations Manager. The person who had that position (and did a super job) has moved on to new pastures. If you know of someone who might be interested in this position, please have him or her contact the station's general manager, whose phone number, address and email address are listed below. (Let me know, too.)
