But that\u2019s true of most American college radio stations, especially in the digital age.<\/p>\n<p>Being underground also is part of the allure, said members of the station\u2019s staff, who produce and host their own shows.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s something cool about not having visuals. It is kind of retro,\u201d said station Manager Hope Montgomery, a junior double majoring in art history and art education.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s something special about it. Something cool,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>Montgomery, along with Assistant Station Manager Navah Chestnut, Marketing Manager Ryan Mench and Outreach Director Fay Aregai all produce curated, music shows with chat in between the songs, something mostly forgotten on today\u2019s music-streaming platforms with playlists generated by algorithms.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s also about a dozen non-staff students producing shows for The Perch, including other music shows and podcasts about current events and pop culture.<\/p>\n<p>For now, the station is based in the same space as WUTC-FM 88.1 in Cadek Hall, but the hope is that it will eventually return to its original home in the University Center, said Haley Solomon, advisor for The Perch and a producer at WUTC.<\/p>\n<p>Montgomery started her show \u201cTender Buttons\u201d\u2014an eclectic mix of new music and obscure cult classics\u2014in 2019 as a freshman and loved the experience. Then the pandemic hit and, like the rest of the world, The Perch shut down.<\/p>\n<p>So when she heard the station was coming back, she jumped at the chance to revive her show.<\/p>\n<p>The name was inspired by a book of poetry by Gertrude Stein that later became the name of an album by electronica band Broadcast, one of her favorites..<\/p>\n<p>Working at the station is \u201cless of an obligation and more a passion.\u201d It\u2019s not in her major, but \u201cit\u2019s fun.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Aregai, a sophomore majoring in psychology and minoring in music composition, grew up listening to the radio in her mom\u2019s car on their long commutes to school and work.<\/p>\n<p>The \u201cSteve Harvey Morning Show\u201d was her favorite because \u201cit had everything,\u201d she said. A little comedy, music and talk.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI loved listening to the stories they told in between the songs,\u201d she said. \u201cThey would talk about so many things. It would be something I\u2019d think about all day.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She started working at The Perch for her federal work-study job in the fall, hoping it would be a lot more fun than working anywhere elsewhere on campus. She was right.<\/p>\n<p>With music composition as her minor, it\u2019s a place where her passion and academics collide, she said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve discovered so much more music. It\u2019s a big deal for me,\u201d said Aregai, whose show is called \u201cTest Drive\u201d where she plays everything from entire albums and soundtracks to a lineup of music that fits a particular theme.<\/p>\n<p>The station can\u2019t archive shows per FCC licensing rules that regulate the number of times a song can be played according to music purchasing agreements. But that gives the pre-recorded broadcasts a sense of being live, a tune-in-now-or-never quality.<\/p>\n<p>Federal broadcasting rules and having to follow them, are what inspired Mench\u2019s \u201cCapitalist Commodities Radio\u201d and its post-punk and indie music vibe.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike radio stations, streaming services such as Spotify turn listening to music into instant gratification for most people, said Mench<strong>, <\/strong>a junior majoring in marketing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey want music on-demand. It\u2019s the song you want to hear when you want to hear it. Maybe over and over and over again,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>The Perch aims at a different audience, he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think the people who listen really care.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The pandemic shut down the online station for two years.<\/p>\n<p class=\"more-link-wrap\"><span><a class=\"more-link button text\" href=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/2022\/04\/student-run-radio-the-perch-broadcasting-again\/\"><span>Continue Reading <\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1822,"featured_media":41919,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","_ef_editorial_meta_date_first-draft-date":"","_ef_editorial_meta_paragraph_assignment":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_needs-photo":"","_ef_editorial_meta_number_word-count":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_slider":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_featurette":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3,64,661],"tags":[50274],"class_list":{"0":"post-41921","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-community","8":"category-news","9":"category-students","10":"tag-the-perch","11":"entry"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Student-run radio &#039;The Perch&#039;
