However, the number of new volunteers was slowing down. The decrease made it harder to fill in for when there was no school, such as summer or winter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Eventually, the station decided to set up <strong>automation <\/strong>in 2013. This finally allowed for 24\/7 broadcasting, <em>regardless<\/em> of whether a DJ was there or not. It also lifted the weights from the shoulders of those who had to stay late to cover when someone no showed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We also finally got <strong>Spinitron in the early 2010s!<\/strong> Spinitron is a &#8220;playlisting&#8221; service. It allows DJs to log what music they played during their show and when. <strong>WHUS2, <\/strong>our completely digital stream, starts up in 2014. Now, there&#8217;s an entirely separate place for beginner and veteran DJs alike to experiment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And in 2014, we get our current logo, thanks to Bria Caso. Our website also receives a much-needed upgrade. Below is a color concept version of the WHUS logo. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a1519774006d&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6a1519774006d\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"651\" height=\"465\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--pointerdown=\"actions.preloadImage\" data-wp-on--pointerenter=\"actions.preloadImageWithDelay\" data-wp-on--pointerleave=\"actions.cancelPreload\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/archive.whus.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/whuslogocolors.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2216\"\/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-bind--aria-label=\"state.thisImage.triggerButtonAriaLabel\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.thisImage.buttonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.thisImage.buttonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\" style=\"margin-top:0;margin-right:0;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--20);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--20)\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a  href=\"https:\/\/archive.whus.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/image-2.png\" data-rel=\"lightbox-gallery-0\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\" title=\"\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1917\" height=\"862\" data-id=\"2219\" src=\"https:\/\/archive.whus.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/image-2.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2219\"\/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Octber 2013 version of WHUS&#8217;s website <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a  href=\"https:\/\/archive.whus.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/image-4.png\" data-rel=\"lightbox-gallery-0\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\" title=\"\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1898\" height=\"858\" data-id=\"2222\" src=\"https:\/\/archive.whus.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/image-4.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2222\"\/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">2015 version<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Multimedia_Production\"><\/span>Multimedia Production <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thanks to General Manager Ryan King and Drew Gates&#8217; efforts, WHUS decides to take the plunge towards constructing a multimedia studio in 2014.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The studio, now called <strong>Studio D<\/strong>, was finished in 2015. <strong>The Multimedia Department <\/strong>and the <strong>Multimedia Director <\/strong>role are created in the same year.

FOr example, WHUS leaves the Pacifica network, which sourced a lot of its syndicated programming. However, by opting to give greater priority to local productions, WHUS could further cultivate its unique identity and cater to the specific interests of its local audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While WHUS no longer participates in IBS conferences, its members now attend events like South by Southwest, demonstrating the station&#8217;s continued commitment to staying connected with the broader radio and music industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The shift towards local programming further emphasized WHUS&#8217;s commitment to serving its community and providing a platform for diverse voices and musical expressions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary>Fall 2018 Zine<\/summary><div class=\"_df_book df-lite\" id=\"df_2681\"  _slug=\"fall-2018-zine\" data-title=\"fall-2018-zine\" wpoptions=\"true\" thumb=\"https:\/\/archive.whus.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/zinefall18-1.jpg\" thumbtype=\"\" ><\/div><script class=\"df-shortcode-script\" nowprocket type=\"application\/javascript\">window.option_df_2681 = {\"outline\":[],\"autoEnableOutline\":\"false\",\"autoEnableThumbnail\":\"false\",\"overwritePDFOutline\":\"false\",\"direction\":\"1\",\"pageSize\":\"0\",\"source\":\"https:\\\/\\\/archive.whus.org\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2024\\\/04\\\/zinefall18-1.pdf\",\"wpOptions\":\"true\"}; if(window.DFLIP && window.DFLIP.parseBooks){window.DFLIP.parseBooks();}<\/script>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2020s\"><\/span>2020s<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>March 2020: <\/strong>The coronavirus pandemic starts and in-person classes as well as radio operations are cancelled.

Remote shows let DJs record their shows elsewhere and send in the audio file. This allows more shows and podcasts to become a reality at the station as WHUS alumni no longer have to come to the station to records.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary>2022 Zine<\/summary><div class=\"_df_book df-lite\" id=\"df_2686\"  _slug=\"2022-zine\" data-title=\"2022-zine\" wpoptions=\"true\" thumb=\"https:\/\/archive.whus.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/ZINE-MOCK-1_22.jpg\" thumbtype=\"\" ><\/div><script class=\"df-shortcode-script\" nowprocket type=\"application\/javascript\">window.option_df_2686 = {\"outline\":[],\"autoEnableOutline\":\"false\",\"autoEnableThumbnail\":\"false\",\"overwritePDFOutline\":\"false\",\"direction\":\"1\",\"pageSize\":\"0\",\"source\":\"https:\\\/\\\/archive.whus.org\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2024\\\/04\\\/ZINE-MOCK-1_22.pdf\",\"wpOptions\":\"true\"}; if(window.DFLIP && window.DFLIP.parseBooks){window.DFLIP.parseBooks();}<\/script>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-3a88641f wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/archive.whus.org\/?page_id=120\">Previous<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Media\"><\/span>Media<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Audio\"><\/span>Audio<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-audio\"><audio controls src=\"https:\/\/c1e7a447f106e8be3cc0-7773f147a8a2813c46a709df39d79136.ssl.cf5.rackcdn.com\/Audio\/Dave%20Kramer\/07_09_2011_maybefiatfluxdemo.mp3\"><\/audio><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Dave Kramer &#8211; Fiat Flux (freeform show) Demo &#8211; July 9, 2011<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-audio\"><audio controls src=\"https:\/\/c1e7a447f106e8be3cc0-7773f147a8a2813c46a709df39d79136.ssl.cf5.rackcdn.com\/Audio\/Dave%20Kramer\/08_06_2011_Garden_Path.mp3\"><\/audio><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Dave Kramer&#8217;s <em>20th Century Rock <\/em>feat.
