History and Background

[edit]

Montco radio is a student-run radio station based out of Blue Bell at Montgomery County Community College. It has been around since the early 1970’s and is an outlet for students to express their thoughts and feelings and channel their creative energy.

A student club at MCCC, montco radio is co-advised by KYW News Radio’s news and sports anchor, and instructor of communications at MCCC, Jeff Asch, and communications professor Lindsay Levin.

Based out of the Advanced Technology Center building on MCCC’s Central Campus in Blue Bell, Pennsylvania (just outside of Philadelphia), montco radio streams live world-wide.

Kirill notes for additional content- find out a little more history…is the station only internet based? when did it switch? has the station been around continuously since 1970 or did it ever go off the air?Italic text

The student DJs represent a variety of experiences and majors. Each DJ hosts his/her own show, and as a result montco radio has a varied programming from music to sports to news.
