WGFR radio has been SUNY Adirondack’s soundtrack for more than 40 years.

Since 1977, the college radio station has been a creative outlet for hundreds of SUNY Adirondack students from all majors. 

“Because any SUNY Adirondack student can participate through a training program, WGFR  gives students a way to express themselves and develop confidence,” said Kevin Ankeny, professor of Radio and TV Broadcasting. “Being successful in live radio requires you to plan and sequence content, think quickly, work with strict time constraints, engage an audience, speak clearly and concisely, and stay focused and in the moment.”

According to Ankeny, the skills students learn at WGFR make them marketable in a variety of careers.

“I frequently encounter former WGFR staffers who tell me they got a job or a promotion because their WGFR experience made them better communicators. We all have an inner DJ looking to get out,” he said.
