WRST-FM is adding new material to La Mezcla (The Mix), the station’s weekly Spanish language program aired every Monday at 5 p.m. on 90.3 WRST-FM and on the Internet at wrst.org.
The student-produced program, which celebrated its first anniversary in January, is adding a world and national newscast starting Feb. 14. The five-minute news offering is Noticiero Latino, produced by Radio Bilingue, the Spanish language public radio network in the U.S.
La Mezcla previously offered a student-produced newscast in Spanish, covering world, national and state news. With the addition of Noticiero Latino to the program, the WRST-produced newscast will adjust its focus to present state and local news exclusively.
Noticiero Latino joins a handful of other national programs in the WRST schedule. Also offered are “Are We Alone?”, a science magazine from the SETI Institute aired every Thursday at 5 p.m., and “E-Town,” an alternative concert series from Boulder, Col. airing Friddays at 5 p.m. The station also airs material from the Public Radio Exchange, which offers features, specials and music series like “European Jazz Stage” from Radio Netherlands and the NPR series “Jazz Profiles.”
Randall Davidson, director of Radio Services, submitted this announcement. Faculty, staff and students are encouraged to contribute calendar items, campus announcements and other good news to UW Oshkosh Today.
