According to the Ball State Daily News Online, WWHI (WCRD) has installed a new antenna which means more coverage. Previously, Umansky said, the station was difficult to hear in the dorms, anywhere north of McGalliard Road or in metallic buildings. But now WCRD can be heard, clearly, anywhere from Anderson to Gaston.  WCRD general manager, Heather Trojack, said increase in potential listeners has affected how the station operates.

Nancy Carlson, assistant professor of telecommunications, served as chair of the department during the antenna purchase. She said the new antenna will make WCRD a more integral part of the Ball State experience.

“Even though a lot of people know there’s a college radio station, not a lot of people could actually listen to it because they were outside of the coverage area,” she said. “Now, any of them can hear it and it will become the voice of the Ball State students on campus.” Read more.
