Today, listening to a student-produced radio show requires listening to a live internet broadcast off the Student Radio Initiative Web site on a computer with a swift connection.

That all changes tomorrow when senior Alex Drogseth’s newly produced show “Blugold Performance of the Air,” premieres at 6 p.m. on WUEC-FM 89.7

“It’s the beginning of bringing back student-produced radio,” Drogseth said.

Drogseth, a mass communications major, will be the producer and host of the weekly show, he said, and will start by featuring excerpts from a fall 2004 concert. The following weekly shows will feature the Symphony Band, Symphony Orchestra, Jazz I Ensemble and Wind Symphony.

Along with introducing the selections, Drogseth said he will mention upcoming campus events set to take place in the Haas Fine Arts Center.

Sophomore Mike Muelling, a member of the Symphony Orchestra, said he thinks the radio show will help showcase the music program.

“I think it will be a good promotion for the ensembles just because people could hear the quality of work that goes on here,” he said.

Wisconsin Public Radio’s regional manager and WUEC chief of operations, Dean Kallenbach, as well as Drogseth, said the ensembles are only the beginning. They plan on expanding the show to feature other departments.

“The possibilities are really endless,” Kallenbach said, “and we’re not going to tie ourselves down to one thing.”

Radio drama, poetry and short stories are all things they said they looking into for future shows.

Drogseth said he records and edits the show at the WPR station, 1221 W. Clairemont Ave. The prerecorded program is aired from Haas, room 170, studio A.
