WGCS

WGCS is the noncommercial education radio voice of Goshen College and identified over the air as 91.1- The Globe. WGCS is a student-run college radio station based in Goshen, Indiana.

Mission Statement

"As a federally licensed trustee operating in the public interest, the Globe serves the greater Goshen community with a distinctive and professional radio voice. The Globe also serves Goshen College, its owners, by providing a quality on-air product that supports and extends the college's core values, mission, programs and standards. Within this framework, the Globe provides a dynamic environment in which students learn industry standards of operating, marketing and managing a radio station."

History

The history of WGCS actually begins prior to the actual start-up of the station. The initial interest for a radio station at Goshen College dates back to the 1940s. Clarence Moore, of WCMR in Elkhart, built a "carrier current" radio transmitter that was placed next to the public address system in Assembly Hall. The antenna was a 50-foot wire running from the Administration Building to a light pole near the library, then running just below a high-tension power line of the next pole. The makeshift "station" broadcast programs in Assembly Hall, which included chapels and church services. When a student placed a ticking alarm clock next to the microphone, listeners as far away as Milford, Indiana could hear the ticking. The output coupled into the high-tension line, causing the output to exceed FCC limits. On May 7, 1952 the Federal Communication Commission was conducting surveys in the Goshen area. The station was found to exceed power for limited power radiation. An immediate cease operation was issued. The "station" would need a station license covering its broadcasting equipment plus each person working at the station would need an operator’s license.

The Globe (Toronto newspaper)

The Globe was a newspaper in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, founded in 1844 by George Brown as a Reform voice. It merged with The Mail and Empire in 1936 to form The Globe and Mail.

History

The Globe began as a weekly newspaper on March 5, 1844 edited by George Brown a Presbyterian immigrant from Scotland by way of New York City, where he and his father had edited newspapers. In August 1844 it began to be printed on the first cylinder press in Canada West. The press was able to print 1,250 papers in one hour, many more than the old Washington hand press which could only produce 200 an hour. In September 1846, the Globe became a semi-weekly, in 1849 it became weekly again, and soon tri-weekly editions were established. The first office the Globe occupied was on the south-west corner of King and Jordan streets on property that was transferred to him from a man named Angus Dallas in 1850. The Globe was responsible for launching the careers of many men who went on to make their names famous including Erastus Wiman, William Edwards, and Charles Harcourt.
