A conversation with CJ
What was your role at WPTS?
Web Director / DJ / News Reporter
Why did you love WPTS?
It was a job, a club, a hobby, and a working classroom all rolled into one!
What’s your favorite WPTS memory (or memories)?
If I had to
pick just one… I was sent to give the weather forecast from on board a carnival ride during Fall Fest. While I was LIVE on the air, my pants snagged on a bolt on the ride seat… and split WIDE open. Not only did I have to walk half a block from the ride to the front door of the student union – I had to call my girlfriend for a ride home so I wouldn’t have to take a PAT bus! Needless to say… the on air banter was pretty priceless…
