Cubmaster, Pack 250

Cub Scout Pack 250’s Lightning Webelo Den from Tega Cay SC had the opportunity to tour a radio station in Rock Hill this past week. WRHI AM/FM and Interstate 107 program director and sports announcer Mario Washington took some time out of his busy day to walk the scouts through every part of the radio station facility. We learned that WRHI was South Carolina Broadcasters Association Radio Station of the Year again in 2009.

The scouts were able to see how today’s modern radio stations operate from the equipment to the staff. In some cases the programming is done live or done via feed from another source like network news. Read the rest of this entry »
