WVPH Radio ClubAdvisor: Mr. Giannino

Meets Once A Month And The Day Of Your ShowRadio Station

WVPH Radio Club gives students an opportunity to learn and experience radio broadcasting.  It provides them with the opportunity to learn the station equipment and practice audio production as they host their own radio show live over the air.  Club members also work with programs to learn the basics of music editing.  The Club officially will begin remote broadcasting school events, with a main focus on sports.  We also perform the public service of informing the community of Piscataway of upcoming events and news in the area, and provide original community programming on matters that affect the communities.
