Cable 99: Spring-tacular and a Bonus Photo

Last night, Cable 99 hosted its March edition of 99-Now, the Spring-tacular. Guests included Mr. Redig and the Weird Scientists, The Olive Tap, The Athenas, The Imani Steppers, The Latin Dance Club, Indenpendent Recording Artist Patrick Long, Pi-Day Champion Andrew Zahn, Architecture Club, Peer Jury, Elizabeth McKay, and a live band! Below are pictures of the event plus a bonus picture from WDGC's 41st birthday party in the cafeteria. We handed out free cotton candy to all of the lunch periods.

99 Now Brings You St. Patrick's Day

Cable 99 once again pulled off a terrific live show, this time celebrating St. Patrick's day. The show, which took place on February 24th, featured live music and a cost-comparing-taste-testing food segment. Guests included students from the Intro. to Teaching Course, the Child Development Course, and Orchesis. Tim Bourne was also present to tell us about his recent success in the State Speech Tournament. Maybe the most exciting part of the show, however, was the blistering Bull's Eye Ball match that took place. Not surprisingly, after the students all used a single-hand technique, Mr. Waite stepped it up with his patented two-hand technique--which he pioneered 8 years ago--and dominated the game. Congratulations to the cast and crew on another success!

December Show a Success

The December edition of 99 Now went off without a hitch. The show featured interviews with Northwind Literary Magazine, Snowball, Alumni Sean McKendrick talking about boot camp, and Alumni Danny Glover talking about his business--Skuddlebutts. We made delicious peanut butter cookies, built snowmen, and learned about science. Nick Goergen and Company played live music, just like they did for last year's December show. You can catch reruns on Cable 99--channel 16 in Downers Grove.

The Big 41!

You Say It's Your Birthday...

WDGC's 41st birthday is quickly approaching--November 25th marks the date WDGC received word from the FCC that we could go on the air at 10 Watts. You can see the original telegram in our very first blog entry.

There are a few fun events planned to mark the date. First, Cable 99 is throwing a party on its live TV show (99 Now) on Tuesday, November 24th from 5-7 PM. Be sure to tune in to channel 16. Many fun events are planned.

Also, WDGC will be throwing a party in the cafeteria during all lunches on the 25th, offering free cotton candy to students who can prove that they rock.

Also, stay tuned for information about WDGC's new website, where you will be able to tour the station and learn about its history.

By the way, the show and the cotton candy are a surprise, so please do not tell WDGC if you see him around . . .

Tune in . . . Rock Out!

At the executive staff meeting on Friday, October 2, the group voted to adopt a new slogan for the station. Actually, the group voted to adopt TWO new slogans for the station: "Tune in, Rock Out!" and "88-3, Rockin' DG." Emphasizing just how incredibly hard we rock, the new slogans should start popping up in Legal IDs, Liners, and print material soon! Thanks to Siga and Stephanie for their work.
