Genesis
The purpose of this blog is for documenting news stories that are discussed on "The News Cruise" for our listeners to easily refer to and to avoid any criminal activity concerning plagerism.
"The News Cruise" is a specialty radio show on the one of Greensboro, NC's popular college radio stations, 103.1 FM WUAG, on Thurdays nights 11p-1a. If you don't live in the Greensboro area and would like to listen, you can always stream it live from the website previously linked.
The concept of "The News Cruise" is simple as 1, 2, 3:
1. We find recent interesting (not always important) news stories
2. Summarize them for our listening audience
3. Let our opinions fly (always in accordance with the FCC, of course)
Usually we try to fit the news stories into segments or categories such as "Cute, tragic, and disgusting animal stories," "Crime and Punishment," and "News from Space." The end of the world as we know it also seems to be a popular topic. This is just to name a few, but we don't like to limit ourselves.
"The News Cruise" is in its second season. It first began in the Summer of 2008 and was hosted Chris Berg, me (Megan Wallrichs), and our friend Bobby Williams. Over the course of the summer we acquired a steady repertoire of listeners (delivery drivers and clowns included), local and worldwide (Canada and Belgium) Chris and I will continue to host "The News Cruise" during the Fall semester of 2008.
Chris and I have been DJ's at WUAG for 7 semesters and have been co-hosts for 4 out of those 7. Not completely relying on the biased opinions of our friends, we have reason to believe that we have good radio chemistry and have been known on occasion to be quite funny.
In hopes of increasing "The News Cruise's" popularity we have some exciting future plans that we have or hope to implement soon:
-This blog
-Flyers promoting our show
-The ability for on-air phone guests
-In-studio guests
-Podcasting
-Contests (with prizes!)
If you want to contact us by email for submitting a news story, a contest entry, or just want to say "hi" send it to thenewscruise@gmail.com
And to talk to us directly, you can call us at the radio station during our show at 336-334-5450. We will answer, permitting we're not on air.
So stay tuned for updates and news stories, and tune in tonight from 11p-1a eastern to 103.1 FM WUAG or stream it live from WUAG's website (see link at beginning of post).
