According to Brian Spilbeler, WHJE station manager and adviser, WHJE will cover the varsity football game against Center Grove this Friday Sept. 4.
Spilbeler said WHJE is a student-run high school radio station that has been running since 1963. “On Fridays, we cover the football games home and away, and on Saturdays, we cover either junior varsity or freshman games that play at home.”
Charlie Newdecker, WHJE web manager and senior, said, “WHJE also covers basketball, baseball, volleyball, soccer and some events with the school like the Homecoming festivities, Houndstock and Tailgate for Life. We play a mix of alternative, indie, top 30 and classic rock music.”
According to Spilbeler, 30 students operate the station and 16 of them run their own weekly show. “We are also working on developing our website WHJE.com. We stream live so people can listen to our station outside of the broadcast area,” he said. “We’re a public station so we don’t play commercials. We’re more interested in serving the community and the public.”
