To shed light on the history of WSSU 104.1FM, WHCJ 90.3FM must be mentioned. WHCJ 90.3FM was licensed in 1975 during Dr. Prince A. Jackson’s, 7th president of Savannah State University, tenure. It originally began as a 10 watt station covering a small radius that only extended campus wide. Now, WHCJ is a 1600 watt station covering the areas of Chatham County and portions of Effingham, Bryan, Beaufort and Liberty Counties. In addition to educating and entertaining its various audiences, WHCJ provides a practical laboratory where students may receive hands on experience in various aspects of broadcast production. The current station director is Theron ‘Ike’ Carter and the assistant station director is Grace ‘Lady Grace’ Curry. About four years ago, Carter and Curry began establishing the new low power station that is now WSSU 104.1FM. Carter wanted a low power radio station where student could share the same experience of WHCJ but through a student governed station. Carter originally wanted a 10 watt station, just as how WHCJ started however, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has recently placed a hold on 10 watt stations. Subsequently, this left Carter with the decision to either go through with the tedious task of establishing an unnecessarily larger station, or to look into investing in a low power station. The obvious choice was the low power radio station. In 2008 Carter applied for a Title III Grant which is a grant that helps eligible institutes of higher education to become self-sufficient and expand their capacity by providing funds to improve and strengthen the academic quality, institutional management and fiscal stability of eligible institutions. Funds may be used for projects including: administrative management, the development and improvement of academic programs, construction and maintenance and student service programs designed to improve academic success. Construction of the new station began in 2009. By Oct. 2010 WSSU was finally operation ready. In the spring of 2011, Carter and Curry decided to approach former volunteer programmers, Courtney Banks and Kimberly Vining, with the exclusive opportunity to be station directors of WSSU. The duo ecstatically accepted the offer and began the search for dedicated workers who were eager learn. Upon their return to school in the fall of 2011, Banks and Vining were fully equipped with proposals, training layouts, program line up, and ideas of campus interaction. After an intense and extensive training and audition process, Banks and Vining assembled WSSU’s first staff. WSSU launched on the air Sep. 19, 2011. From that day, WSSU has maintained a student governed radio station where the students produce radio programs, manage day-to-day operations of the station, and maintain on-air continuity with the campus of Savannah State University.

To shed light on the history of WSSU 104.1FM, WHCJ 90.3FM must be mentioned. WHCJ 90.3FM was licensed in 1975 during Dr. Prince A. Jackson’s, 7th president of Savannah State University, tenure. It originally began as a 10 watt station covering a small radius that only extended campus wide. Now, WHCJ is a 1600 watt station covering the areas of Chatham County and portions of Effingham, Bryan, Beaufort and Liberty Counties. In addition to educating and entertaining its various audiences, WHCJ provides a practical laboratory where students may receive hands on experience in various aspects of broadcast production. The current station director is Theron ‘Ike’ Carter and the assistant station director is Grace ‘Lady Grace’ Curry. About four years ago, Carter and Curry began establishing the new low power station that is now WSSU 104.1FM. Carter wanted a low power radio station where student could share the same experience of WHCJ but through a student governed station. Carter originally wanted a 10 watt station, just as how WHCJ started however, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has recently placed a hold on 10 watt stations. Subsequently, this left Carter with the decision to either go through with the tedious task of establishing an unnecessarily larger station, or to look into investing in a low power station. The obvious choice was the low power radio station. In 2008 Carter applied for a Title III Grant which is a grant that helps eligible institutes of higher education to become self-sufficient and expand their capacity by providing funds to improve and strengthen the academic quality, institutional management and fiscal stability of eligible institutions. Funds may be used for projects including: administrative management, the development and improvement of academic programs, construction and maintenance and student service programs designed to improve academic success. Construction of the new station began in 2009. By Oct. 2010 WSSU was finally operation ready. In the spring of 2011, Carter and Curry decided to approach former volunteer programmers, Courtney Banks and Kimberly Vining, with the exclusive opportunity to be station directors of WSSU. The duo ecstatically accepted the offer and began the search for dedicated workers who were eager learn. Upon their return to school in the fall of 2011, Banks and Vining were fully equipped with proposals, training layouts, program line up, and ideas of campus interaction. After an intense and extensive training and audition process, Banks and Vining assembled WSSU’s first staff. WSSU launched on the air Sep. 19, 2011. From that day, WSSU has maintained a student governed radio station where the students produce radio programs, manage day-to-day operations of the station, and maintain on-air continuity with the campus of Savannah State University.

would be a great approach in gaining a large body of listeners for us. We will be U-streamimg live so
Rickey Smiley’s presence will be globally known and will gain additional positive publicity for him,
ensuring to highlight him as the influential HBCU supporter and radio figure that he already is.
I will call in a week to see if Rickey Smiley would be interested in this endeavor but in the
meantime, if you have any questions you can reach station director Kimberly Vining with the contact
information provided below. Thank you in advance for your consideration.
