Student Media Associate Director Jamie Lynn Gilbert was one of four college radio station advisers featured in an article on how college radio stations across the country are handling the COVID-19 pandemic.

Published by Radio World on Sept. 30, “College Radio: Great Hopes, Great Fears” offers perspectives on the long-term impact of the pandemic including producing content remotely and new DJ training

In the article, Gilbert discusses the financial impact of COVID-19, including the loss of upwards of $10,000 in revenue from the cancelation of Wolfpack sports broadcasts and the shuttering of local music venues, the station’s largest underwriting clients.

Gilbert has advised WKNC 88.1 FM HD-1/HD-2 since May 2006.
