Making Mountains Out Of Mole Hills


I decided to complete the campus safari event that included going to the Southern radio station website and finding shows. The only reason I chose this is because of the fact I honestly didn't have any time to do any of the activities at Southern because of our practice schedule leading up to scout day. Little did I know though this was going to be an absolute headache. What I thought would be a more or less simple task became long-winded and frustrating. The website itself isn't very interactive and they don't have anything posted on their calendar as far as shows go. The only information they really have on events is posted on the homepage itself where you have to scroll down in order to find some events that will be happening this coming month. You would think those events would be posted where they are actually visible to those who go on the website. I was not able to find any shows because they don't have any posted either on the homepage itself or on the calendar. I was able to find several events though that happens though the radio station such as Sinfest and the chance to win tickets to a music festival called B.O.M.B. Fest. I clicked the play button to try and listen to a clip so I could rate it and respond to it, but unfortunately the website wouldn't play the flash player. Overall I think the SCSU radio team definitely needs to put some much needed time into their website to it functions with the purpose to both attract listeners and become easily navigable.
