• WSLX的历史

  广播电台始于圣. 卢克的 School in 1973, when 彼得·布什·斯万伯格 ’73, formerly of WEBE 108 and 95.9 THE FOX FM, built radio station WNCR. WNCR was a carrier current AM station, operated by SLS students under the direction of English Department Head Robert Blakely. WNCR quickly evolved into a popular and unique student activity, 1975年, was upgraded to an educational FM station WSLX. The new station featured an expanded format, and faculty advisor John Csenger increased the staff to include students in all grades. It was during this time that 丹·麦加 ’81, formerly Media Director at St. 卢克的, first became involved with WSLX as a seventh grade DJ. All programming originated at the school, and was created and produced by students. Sadly, a major theft of all the studio equipment forced an untimely end to on-campus programming.

  In order to maintain its license, WSLX was modified to allow outside programming to be broadcast. For many years, WMNR Fine 艺术 radio could be heard on 91.9 FM, WSLX所在的地方. Several attempts were made to restore WSLX to its original purpose as a student-operated, 教育电视台, but it was not until 2002 that significant progress toward this goal was made.

   

  During the 2002-03 school year, a committee comprised of 彼得·布什·斯万伯格, 丹·麦加, engineers 埃德·巴特勒 and Paul Litwinovich, 几位教员, 父母, and students met to explore the possibility of returning on-campus broadcasting to St. 卢克的. With the generous support of the SLS 父母’ Association, a significant equipment donation from WPLJ Radio, and the donated time and labor of the committee members and their many friends in the broadcast industry, Phase I of the WSLX initiative was completed.

   

  WSLX can now be heard at 91.9 FM 24 hours a day, seven days a week, with all programming originating on St. 卢克的山顶校区. 使用最新技术, WSLX operates as a fully automated station, no longer relying on outside programming for content. WSLX has evolved back into a part of the extra-curricular activities program, which includes live student broadcasts on weekday afternoons, play-by-play broadcasts of home varsity football games in the fall, and boys and girls varsity basketball games in the winter. There have even been live shows in the morning by select SLS faculty.
  
  With the addition of Internet streaming capability in 2009, an upgraded web presence at www.wslx.org 2010年秋天, and the addition of album artwork for each song in the summer of 2020, WSLX continues as a student-centered opportunity for teaching and learning about the world of broadcast radio!

   

  SLS faculty member 杰夫·克雷斯 currently manages WSLX on a volunteer basis. With his help and our "Friends of WSLX" and the work by our students, WSLX continues to keep our community and beyond entertained and informed.
