The internet became a lot louder recently when the Lorain County Community College online radio station, "The Duck," launched on Nov. 12.
The streaming online radio station, which is run exclusively by LCCC students, is accessible to anyone with an internet connection and features multiple radio programs.
"The Duck" is always looking for new talent and have an open invite to any students who wish to host a program.
"We've been trying to recruit [students] interested in having an air-shift or a show," said Promotions Director Alan Sharp. "They can do it for the fun or earn credits as an elective."
The station features a multitude of programs ranging from shows devoted to heavy-metal, classic rock, oldies, and even a talk show about gaming and role playing.
Joe Ott, DJ of the radio program Joe's Garage, plays a variety of metal, jam music, psychedelic, and classic rock. Joe says he picks his music "depending on what kind of mood I'm in."
Listeners have begun to tune in regularly as DJ's have been logging more and more listeners.
"We've even had a guy from England instant messaging us, saying he likes the program," said Sharp.
As the station continues to build and add listenership, "The Duck" is looking to feature more student DJ's looking to host different shows.
"Working at 'The Duck' is fantastic, they're really laid back," says Joe Ott. "As long you follow protocol and get a good response, it's a great experience."
Students can log on and listen to "The Duck" for free at www.LcccRadio.com.
