On the occasion of our 75th anniversary, WRTC has received some wonderful press coverage. Trinity College’s alumni magazine, The Trinity Reporter, has given us their cover article! See the feature here. They’ve even devoted their letters section to alums who’ve shared some of their memories of WRTC.
Not to be outdone, The Hartford News covers our diamond anniversary in their Feb. 10-16th issue. Scroll to page five.
We thank these publications for their wonderful coverage of WRTC.
But we would be remiss if we didn’t correct an important omission that’s entirely our fault, and that’s the immense contribution of recently retired WRTC Faculty Adviser, Prof. Gary Reger.
Gary served the station tirelessly for three decades, working behind the scenes as the liaison between the Trinity students, community members and the college administration. He hired and supervised the general manager and chief engineer. He worked with broadcast counsel, students, and employees to ensure all-important FCC regulatory compliance. It’s not too much to say that on more than one occasion, Gary may have saved WRTC’s very existence!
Throughout his tenure, he encouraged Trinity students to lead and he never interfered with programming. He even hosted his own show for a while. The faculty advisor’s contributions often go unnoticed but they shall no longer remain unsung. Enjoy your well-earned retirement, Gary!
