Zach Doin Big Things

KampGM — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 23:23:04 -0500

In case you've been wondering, our Sports Director Zach Clark has been pounding the pavement and getting some great interviews. Here he is with the commentators of College Gameday on Friday afternoon.

If you're interested in sports programming, talk to Zach about getting a show! He's always looking to expand the department.

In his own words...

"Chris Fowler is seen here talking about Arizona’s defense. You can see me here checking my notes because I was about to ask him a question about LaMichael James, Oregon’s starting running back."

"I asked former Ohio State quarterback Kirk Herbstreet what he thought the future had in store for Arizona Wildcat football. In short he said that as long as Mike Stoops is here Wildcat fans should be excited."

"Heisman trophy winner and Super Bowl MVP Desmond Howard talks about the fierce football rivalry between the Michigan Wolverines and the Ohio State Buckeyes."

"He said that he 'had a lot of respect' for Kirk Herbstreet and other current and former Buckeyes."

Update from Wednesday's Meeting

KampGM — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 20:37:43 -0500

In case you missed it, here are a few updates from Wednesday's meeting:

From GM:
- If you bring friends/guests onto your show, you MUST inform either me or Ellie before your show. We need to keep track of who is in the studio and when.

From Programming:
- If you are assigned to play the AZUN paid spot on your show, you MUST play it. No excuses.
- If you do not have your show set up on radioactivity.fm, please email me your name and the name of your show and I will set it up for you. Then, all you have to do is click on your show when you sign on to Radioactivity and start charting.
- If you have to cancel your show, YOU must tell your interns. Nobody else will do this for you, and you don't want to look like a jerk to your intern for showing them up!

From News:
- All DJs are required to play the news bumps at some point during their show. It's never longer than a minute and it is located right on the desktop of the computer in the broadcast booth. Play it!

From Marketing:
- T-Shirts are in the final stage of pre-production. Stay tuned.

From Sports:
- We lost the Oregon broadcast ("No surprises there"). But, we do have the ASU and USC broadcasts.
- Hockey is not working out.
- Baseball is coming in February.

From HR:
- Get your show fliers into Ellie's mailbox and they will be hung up around campus!!!

From Production:
- Kyle needs help mixing in-studio sessions, so if you're interested in learning to engineer, contact him at production@kamp.arizona.edu. It's easy and fun.

From Mobile DJ:
- We got the complete new light setup in and functioning. We now have eight par cans, two scanners, a strobe, a sweep, and a fogger.
- If you're interested in learning to do Mobile DJ, contact Guillaume at mobiledj@kamp.arizona.edu.
- There will be a Mobile DJ training session this Sunday the 22nd at 3PM at the studio. Come check it out!

From Head MD:
- Keep the booth clean! This includes re-shelving CDs that you grab out of the library.
- Make sure you're re-shelving the As and Bs in their respective slots in the stacks (As on left, Bs on right).
- All DJs MUST review a minimum of ten (10) CDs per semester. The MDs get loads of stuff in and simply cannot review it all on their own. We will be keeping track of this and strikes will be administered for DJs who do not comply.
- Shoot Emily an email (headmd@kamp.arizona.edu) and sign up to receive music updates from any of our MDs. They have recently set up listservs for each genre. You may sign up for one or all.

Switchfoot Interview

K-Wil — Sat, 14 Nov 2009 18:21:57 -0500

As listed on the calendar, Switchfoot is playing at The Rock tonight, and I'll be interviewing them before the show. The cool thing about this show is that their pairing it with a canned food drive, and the person who donates the most cans gets to meet the band! Hope to see you there!

Some Mobile DJ updates!

KampGM — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 17:47:45 -0500

In case you haven't noticed, our mobile DJ department has been doing some serious work as of late. Guillaume has been keeping busy with everything from frat parties to mall shows to low-key jams outside the studio. We've also just picked up a sweet new light setup with strobe, scanners, and sweep lights (not to mention a spiffy new fogger).

If you're interested in helping out with mobile DJ, or learning to use the equipment and do some gigs, contact Guillaume at mobiledj@kamp.arizona.edu.

Here are some pics from the last few shows...

This one is from just this past Saturday during homecoming. Peep our sports director Zach doin it up in the suit...

These two are from the gig we did for Phi Delt for their date dash. Hardcore dancing over French house? Heck yes!

And lastly, a shot from the bowling event we had last month. Whoever wasn't there missed out!

LOONER

K-Wil — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 22:06:43 -0500

Sooooooooooo it's been a while since I posted something :( Sorry guys, school caught up with me and I had other productioneering duties to attend to. But without further ado, I present to you, Looner. They play some great beat based rock, which is impressive and well conceived on its own, but the even more impressive part is there's only three of them! Doing the work of a 5-piece rock band! Anyways, they are cool, but their music is hot: perfect combination.
