The photo at right shows FRIT Radio DJs from Spring 2007 in training for their first broadcasts (from left to right: Scott Pochatila (French), Michelle Western (French), Adam Ross (Ohio.fm General Manager), Matteo Amburgy (Italian), and Sara Rathbun (Italian).
The Department of French and Italian and The Foreign Language Center collaborate to provide undergraduate French and Italian students with the opportunity to broadcast native language programs on the air in the FRIT Radio course. Prof. Janice Aski (Italian) and Prof. Wynne Wong (French) piloted the program in 2006, and since 2007 the course has been taught by Rebecca Bias in the Foreign Language Center. Paul Kotheimer with HIS is the FRIT Radio Producer. For more information please contact Rebecca Bias.
Many thanks to Adam Ross, Ohio.fm's General Manager, for his help with this important pilot project.
Please listen in for some interesting cultural information, great music, and fun practicing your listening skills in French and Italian!
