What you like best about living in Tigerville SC?: NGU, where I get chances to do broadcasting. Tigerville is small, but I’m busy so it’s fine by me.

What does “A Different Kind of College Radio” mean to you?: I believe that having the motto, “A Different Kind of College Radio,” is very important. It expresses that we are different from other schools around the area and even many other schools in the country. Although our radio crew may be small, I believe that we are different from other stations in the fact that we are not simply doing our radio shows for a hobby, we are focusing on this field for after school, so we are putting more time into our duties and striving to do the best that we can.
