WKNC General Manager Laura Mooney and Chainsaw Rock Music Director Erika Bass led roundtable discussions for the College Broadcasters, Inc. National Student Electronic Media Convention Oct. 28-30. in Seattle. More than 1,000 students, advisers/managers and professionals from around the world attended the three-day virtual event.
Mooney paired with Sean Horvath, station manager for WSUM 91.7 at University of Wisconsin-Madison, for a Student Radio Station Managers roundtable to consider effective management techniques and challenges student managers face.
In her roundtable for student music directors, Bass led a discussion on how to find new music and manage music rotation, and demonstrated how WKNC manages rotation using RCS GSelector.
Joining Mooney and Bass at the convention were Program Director Molly DuBois, Daytime Music Director Maddie Jennette, Promotions Director Becca Fesperman, Student Media Director Patrick Neal, Student Media Associate Director Jamie Lynn Gilbert, and IT Manager Doug Flowers. Gilbert led a swag show-and-tell where participants shared ideas for station stickers, pens, T-shirts and more.
As part of the educational mission of Student Media, WKNC publishes the students’ summaries (PDF) so others can learn from the conference.
