I was happy to surf around and discover that my alma mater, WMSC-FM is finally streaming its audio onto the web. Like rival station WFMU, Montclair's radio station went with Live365. I'm just tickled that I can listen to the station any time of the day or night, and that it can be heard around the world. After all these years, taking a listen confirmed my hopes: that WMSC is still incredibly cool and has not sold out.
For those of you who don't know (probably almost everyone reading this blog), Montclair State University is one of the premiere institutions in the New York area to study Broadcasting. The school has high-tech TV facilities that rival many professional stations. It was pathetic that the radio station didn't stream live. Considering its reputation, it should have been the first one.
When you listen to this station, please remember that the DJs are college students, not professionals. They might screw up from time to time or sound boring. But that's how you learn. Oh yeah, and they still take requests. So use your free cell minutes and give them a ring. Just don't request anything lame, OK?
Welcome to cyberspace, my old friend. Long may you stream.
