On Sept. 24, Moody Campus Radio ? updated with new equipment and streaming software ? launched fresh programming under the guidance of an all-new executive committee. Its new web site launched on the same date.
Shane O?Regan, sophomore communications major and MCR station manager, is eager to be set up in MCR?s new facilities on Sweeting 4, the new creative media home for communications majors. ?We?ll be feeding off the creative energy up there just by being around other creatives,? he said. ?We already feel more connected to the student body than we did in our offices in Fitzwater.? The executive committee is excited for their new web presence as well, which they say has the possibility to be an amazing creative platform for them to connect with the student body.
MCR is hosting new and returning shows on current events, theology, sports and varying genres of music. There is more diversity and greater professionalism within the programs due to a recently formed partnership with Moody Radio. Joe Mally, sophomore children?s ministry major and operations manager of MCR, said, ?The partnership with MCR and Moody Radio will provide us with mentors who do our jobs full-time. It will also provide opportunities for the MCR team to help with concerts and other events hosted by Moody Radio.?
The executive committee is also excited about the increased involvement and support from professors in the communications department who are willing to work for the success of MCR. Among them is Brian Kammerzelt, assistant professor and chair of the communications department. ?MCR is one of the anchor practicums for the communications major ? an integral part of teaching and learning radio station management, audio production, marketing, web design and much more,? he said. ?MCR is also one of our core student leadership teams that will provide guidance in their specialties to peers across the program and campus.?
Kammerzelt continues, ?Furthermore, MCR provides a direct link to our relationship with Moody Radio, who are increasingly invested in our radio/audio curriculum.?
As MCR comes back on air, O?Regan encourages students to get involved. He said, ?MCR is a place of nurture. I?m learning, we?re all learning. Ministering t the individual student at Moody is at the heart of what we do. It is by students, for students.? Members of the executive committee emphasize that students from any major are welcome. O?Regan affirms that MCR?s focus is on the students of MBI.
?Media is merely our tool. We?re about the individual,? O?Regan said. ?Moody is smothered in untold stories of grace, triumph, hope. MCR is all about the power of stories expressed through media to bring us together in unity and vulnerability.?
MCR executive committee members encourage students to check out the new website and listen in to the station?s new and returning shows at http://moodycampusradio.com/, going back on-air throughout the week of Sept. 24.
