Now Broadcasting

WMCB lpfm 107.9 is broadcasting noon to midnight from our studio at 393 Main St. Greenfield Massachusetts. As a brand spanking new radio station, much content is being provided automatically from our data base of local and eclectic music. Producer DJs are being trained, and all our forms and manuals are being reviewed before posting them on the web.
This Thursday, May 22 the ad hoc committee which has been organizing WMCB will hold a meeting at GCTV at 6pm.
We have well over a hundred people who have expressed interest in getting involved. After the May 22 meeting, a schedule for training will be announced.

Variety Show

Drew Hutchison is looking for actors and writers to help with a variety show.
One segment will be a parody of reality TV.
The premise: Two teams of writers are given a set of circumstances to work with, and have to write and perform two three minute pieces with the first being a cliff hanger. The winning team gets to perform the second piece. The losing team must chose which character to "bump off" in the next show.
Some of the characters are as follows: Joe Smoke, a private investigator, and former drummer in the "Sacred Cows". Mrs. Manicheveski , Joe Smokes' Jewish Mother. Tony Rigatoni, the local mob boss.
We need someone to provide sound effects.
We also need musicians to play between acts.
Other segments can include parody of commercials, or talk shows.... etc. if you're interested, please get in touch with me at wmcbfm@gmail.com

Welcome

Welcome to the WMCB LPFM webpage. There is a Steering Committee meeting this Thursday at 6:00pm at the GCTV Studio, 393 Main St in downtown Greenfield MA.

Do you have technical or fundraising experience? Are you willing to volunteer some time to community-run radio? We need you help! Please contact us at wmcb (at) gmail (dot) com.

Drew and Travis have been working diligently to have the web applications take form in time for the Thursday . Geek time: We're hoping to build a collaborative web presence using the Google applications for e-mail, calendar, static webpage publishing, blogging, online photo gallery, and web-based document editors. I know, it sounds like an ad for Google -- what can we say? These guys have all the pieces in place (it's getting them all to flow between each other that has been the challenge). We looked at the more powerful CMS (content management system), metadot.com freehosting, but thought that metadot's steep initial learning-curve negated it's flexibility and robustness.

Whe're we at? Drew and the carpenters have been working hard building the foundation of the studio. Scott MacPherson has put in volunteer time to spec and order gear (it's on it's way!), Terri Cappucci has donated a LOT of extra time in getting this entire project possible in the first place.
