Why is UF hiring professional broadcasters to do anything other than teach students about radio? I really don’t get it.
I had to go to WSKY-FM in order to get a real radio experience because UF is failing its students. Those radio stations should be used to train future broadcasters.
I thank WSKY’s T.J. Hart, Bob Rose and Andrew Lee every day for giving me the real-world education UF would not.
I loved my time at UF, and I learned a lot there, but I think UF can do a lot better. Getting rid of Lex and Terry was a good start, but if it’s going to bring in more professionals, what’s the point of getting rid of them?
UF needs to use its broadcast properties to teach students.
If it’s about money, I get that; it’s the nature of the beast. But it needs to remember this is a learning institution first and foremost.
