Hey all! Great news!

Today we recieved notification that we have recieved the Abbot Grant, which we applied for a few weeks ago.

What does this mean? A few things. With the money we will be upgrading our recording studio, putting in much needed soundproofing and therefore improving recording quality. That means those of you with bands can make an appointment with us and get a CD made! Exciting. It also means we’ll be upgrading the broadcasting studio with new and professional mics. Shows will now be clearer, and we shouldn’t have issues with volume on our end anymore!

In other news, we’re putting together plans for a WPAA sponsored event, keep your eyes open and your ears peeled for more information.

We’ve also begun to broadcast The Weekender on WPAA. Every wednesday we’ll have an updated annoucement with the major goings-ons for the coming weekends.

Also, we at WPAA wish all athletes who are competing in the coming week against Exeter and at Interschols good luck, as well as to those of us who plan on spending Saturday freezing our butts off! GO BIG BLUE.

-The WPAA Crew

vHey All,

We’ve slightly modified the schedule. Here is the correct listing, enjoy!

Hey Everyone!

The 2009 radio season is well underway! We have a nearly complete schedule with some great shows!

Here’s the Fall 2009 Schedule!

Ever dreamed of being a radio star? Well, video killed it but you can still host a radio show on WPAA this year! You’ll receive an email with the application in the form of a SurveyMonkey survey. Complete this survey and get your very own show!

Hard copies of the application will also be available Friday, September 18 at the Club Rally.

Friday, May 29th 2009. WPAA rocked the Andover campus to the core, hosting this year’s Battle of the Bands in the Den. It was a great show and the bands showed some serious talent. When the dust settled, Andover’s famed Seven Layer Crunch Wrap Supreme reigned supreme and recieved a stunning trophy. It was a fantastic night!

Special thanks goes out to everyone who helped set up, run, judge, and clean up!

Battle of the Bands 2009 marked the end of programming for WPAA for the 2008-2009 school year. Be sure to check back in next year for even better programming and shows brought to you by WPAA. If you’re interested in being a part of WPAA, let us know!
