WDCV Begins Broadcasting

Dickinson’s first radio station, WDCV, will be in operation Sunday, Nov. 18, at 8 p.m.

Ok, so even though this article says WDCV’s first date to broadcast will be November 18th 1962…..it actually wasn’t.  And truthfully, we can’t pinpoint the actual day either.  We have been able to isolate a window of time though.  The next Dickinsonian article the references the inaugural broadcast is from December 14th 1962 but it never says definitively when it happened.  We think it’s around December 1st or so but all of the hours digging in the college archives still hasn’t allowed us to pinpoint an exact date.  So that just means we will celebrate now through the end of the semester.  It’s really not much of a change anyway since we have really been celebrating all.year.long.

Dickinson’s WDCV: Sick, Sick, Sick

And not until the Senate decides what to do about it will anyone on this campus hear a sput or even a pffft from radio station WDCV.

This editorial is awesome in so many ways.  First, it gives a first hand account of the beginning of the station, well before the first transmission ever happened.  Second, its brutally honest in calling out critics who complain but give nothing to help the station succeed.  It may look like a dry read, but its great piece in WDCV’s history. It also even points out that some of the people who helped out the most, flunked out of school because of it. Whoa.
