College Radio Day- Pop Up Record Store Event, Live on Britton, First Friday Downtown

  By ,

WDCV ALL DAY LONG! This is our prom. This is our birthday. This is the day where we get to celebrate our very existence. Will you celebrate with us? You have so many opportunities to show your support for the little station that could.
We will be on Britton Plaza over lunch (11-1pm)and we have an extra special guest just for the day. Dennis Gotthard is one of our favorite people in Carlisle but most people know him by the name the Mannequin Man.  He has an incredible, vast space just outside of town where he has a maze of building FILLED with mannequins, store fixtures, oddities and records.  So Many Records.  Thousands and thousands of them.  And for just one day he will bring it all out for a pop up shop where you can peruse his wares and purchase vinyl, quirky vintage items, mannequins and other surprises.  He should be set up on Britton Plaza unless there is poor weather, then he will be in the underground in the HUB.

We did a story about Dennis and his wonderland of mannequins and records last year.  Take 8 minutes and listen to his incredible stories and start making a wishlist for what you hopes he brings to campus to sell.  He only takes cash and checks so start saving your pennies and have your ATM card handy!

At 5pm we will be set up downtown for First Friday and the theme is Music so OF COURSE we have to come out! We will be set up in between the Hamilton Restaurant and Warm Springs Salon in the Cumberland County Historical Society parking lot. Come chill with us, dance to lively tunes and celebrate our very special day!

College Radio Day-Friday October 3rd 2014

  By ,

One day every year we get to celebrate our very existence in a world of rapidly changing technologies and over produced Top 40 hits. College Radio Day is the day everyone should take a little extra time to appreciate this unique and free entertainment outlet.

We play the music that others overlook or wouldn’t even consider because they are under-appreciated independent artists on tiny labels.  Often, those artists have gone on to become the giant acts that sell out venue after venue but you heard them first on college radio. We bring you shows like Democracy Now! that give an in depth look at news from across the globe and connects you with the people fighting for democracy everywhere.  We give students the chance to find their voice and connect directly with people outside of the borders of Dickinson College.  Our programming stays diverse by intentionally mixing student produced shows along side community djs and syndicated programming.

We are always striving to do better, find better shows, connect with the community in fun and meaningful ways, and be the Voice of not only Dickinson College but the greater Carlisle community.  If you listen to College radio and like what you hear, give a call to the DJ (245-1444) and tell them they are doing a good job.  We love to know that someone out there is listening.  If you have an idea, a gripe or just a comment feel free to email us at wdcvfm@gmail.com.  We have been around for over 50 years and we aren’t planning on going anywhere (except a more visible location in the HUB would be much appreciated!)

Tune into WDCV-FM all day on Friday October 3rd and listen to the special programming for College Radio Day. Stop By Britton Plaza while we broadcast live from 12-2pm. Thanks for listening!

12-2pm Live on Britton Plaza-Free stickers & buttons, DIY spin art on cds & vinyl, tunes, glow in the dark spider rings……

TOMORROW: College Radio Day!

  By ,

collegeradioday

Tomorrow, October 1st, is an extremely exciting day. This is not just because it marks the first day of the spookiest and most pumpkin-infused month, but also because it’s College Radio Day!

Founded in 2010, College Radio Day aims to raise awareness of the power and importance of college radio as a medium to bring the community together and highlight local or underrepresented artists.

From 1:30 to 4:30PM WDCV will be chilling on Britton Plaza providing a variety of entertainment, including an open mic, arts and crafts, WDCV merch, and possibly even balloons. Clearly this event is unmissable. See you there!

Live On Britton Plaza: It’s Going Down!

  By ,

The folks at WDCV are busy raising money for a well in Africa this month. The township does not have access to water and the development of a well would solve this problem. The Live On Britton Plaza events take place on Monday and Wednesday, and this Friday there is a grilled cheese and movie night! So here’s what you folks of Dickinson College and Carlisle have available at a normal Live on BP. You can purchase raffle tickets for awesome prizes such as jewelry or a gift card for the Clothes Vine. The are also artsy “bowl shaped” objects for sale as well as splatter painted spin art. Also available are buttons and we even have a bin of cd’s you can check out. Therefore all you folks out there should check in with us on Mondays and Wednesdays from 10:30-12:30.

COLLEGE RADIO DAY!!!

  By ,

 

October 11th is the first ever College Radio Day!  This is super awesome and we are so excited to participate in it.  College Radio Day was created to help showcase the wonderful stations across the country that may be seen as secret gems within in community they serve.  Many colleges have been selling their radio licenses to fill gaps in their budget, but once that happens, you aren’t going to get the station back and a void is left on campus and the community.  Please support WDCV by listening in and telling others what a great station we are.  We love Dickinson & Carlisle and we plan on being around for a long, long time!
