Staffs 

Audio Magazine

In 1981, The Buggles claimed that "video killed the radio star," but they only felt that way because they hadn't seen Young Writers in action. Step up to the mic and transmit your words and music out to the hills. We'll create and broadcast a half-hour program for UVa's WTJU, 91.1 FM.
