Get ready to turn up the volume and tune in.
Starting Oct. 1, NSU’s Radio X will have its own morning talk show, airing Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays*, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.
This new show is called The Not So Urly Morning Show. It will cover news and issues relating to NSU, the local community and the world. The show will spotlight student organizations and students and faculty who make a difference on campus.
Ebony “Calm Down” Griffin, assistant station manager said, “It is about the students. We want to bring great music to NSU and introduce the unsung heroes of this campus.”
Griffin said that this show, was the brain child of Michelle Manley, the assistant director of student media. The title of the show “The Not So Urly Morning Show” came to Manley one night at 2 a.m. In that instant she knew that NSU had its morning talk show.
Manley said that she is really excited about the new show. She also said that the radio staff is passionate about the new show and they have really taken hold of it.
This is not the first time Radio X has tried to do a morning talk show. After a conflict with time slot the radio station went back to the drawing board. Figuring out the days and time to broadcast and what the show was going to be about became a priority in establishing a new and entertaining talk show.
Manley said “The Not So Urly Morning Show” fits because students do not get up that early, so a show from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. would be better.
Because the show starts later on in the morning the Radio Station hopes that it will bring in a bigger audience.
Hannah Aldoroty, junior communications studies major said, she is looking forward to listening to the show.
“I want to know about the events happening like if there are going to be concerts and if there are ticket giveaways,” Aldoroty said.
She also said that she hopes the show is really funny and gain a lot of attention.
Through online web streaming, this new morning show will be available not only to NSU but to a live listening audience. Each show will highlight two student organizations, as a platform for students to talk about their organizations and get the word out. It is also a way for students and the community to hear about and become familiar with NSU.
Manley said she wants it to be fun and something that students talk about.
“It’s about highlighting NSU and letting the world know about the exciting things we do to promote and recognize the students,” Manley said.
