At long last, our dream of bringing WDGC into your homes over the internet has become a reality. You can listen in at wdgc.csd99.org (no www)! There is also a handy link right on the North High home page. Buttons for the district page and South High page are coming soon.
Our antenna is still down due to repairs on the roof, so our DJ schedule is spotty, but you can still tune in to listen to student-made projects and a great mix of commercial-free music!
We will be updating soon with the long list of names of people we need to thank!
Your home for the latest news about North High School's branches of WDGC 88.3FM and Cable 99, channel 16 in Downers Grove.

The Sound of Silence...And a New Hope...
WDGC will temporarily be off the air as the antenna will be taken down so that the White Gym roofm can be rebuilt. We are anticipating being back on the air in two weeks.
However, there is also good (great) news. Serious work is being done to get WDGC onto the internet. We hope to have this up and running in the next week or so!

More Podcasting!
WDGC is proud to bring you even more podcasts. This time they are PSAs made by Radio II students. Students wrote, directed, produced, and edited the PSAs about distracted driving, focusing in on a very specific audience. We have embedded one of the PSAs to the right, but you can check out more at wdgc.podbean.com. You can also hear them by tuning in to WDGC--88.3 FM.

April Is National Poetry Month
WDGC is celebrating National Poetry Month by bringing you a series of poems recorded by Radio I, Radio II, and Junior English students. The poems are on the program log, so tune in to celebrate. More poems will be added as the month goes on.
To paraphrase a famous poem:
I think that I shall never see
A poem as beautiful as a tree?
I mean, no such beauty can there be,
Unless that poem is on WDGC . . . So stay tuned!

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!
