Newspaper Features One of the "Nation's 10 Best College Stations," WGRE Radio

September 29, 2014

"WGRE-FM 91.5 at DePauw University in Greencastle is now 65 years old," notes today's Terre Haute Tribune-Star. "It shows no signs of aging, though. For the past 16 years, it has ranked among the nation’s 10 best college stations," writes Mark Bennett in a column on college radio.

The piece quotes senior Caitlin Hutchinson, who hails from Atlanta and is WGRE's station manager, "heading an impressive staff of more than 200 student DJs and program directors," Bennett reports. "The sounds run the gamut, and WGRE’s specialty shows illuminate both popular and overlooked genres."

"We’ve had everything from local artists to a Disney hour," Hutchinson, a communications major, tells the newspaper. "I think it’s just the great array of programming we have here."

Bennett writes, "The 21-year-old communications major hopes to work in public relations after graduation. Some DePauw students pursue radio careers, but not all. Some just enjoy the experience, and learn to express themselves on the air."
