Included in the regular Tuesday and Thursday broadcasts are sports, school news, Student Council reports, and a wide variety of music‑everything from Bach to the Beatles to the big bands. Future special events shows will include such things as Maine West talent, interviews with student personalities, presentation of radio plays, and discussion groups.
Pre‑game shows are done in typical disk‑jockey style with pop music, old but good tunes, twin spins, occasional contests, and hi's and hello's to students as well as the latest news about school events.
There are three more pre-game shows this season. On February 3, the hostesses will be Karin Karner and Lydia Orloff; on February 10 Dave Flaskamp is the host; and Dave Freer concludes the home basketball season with his show on February 24.
Pre‑game shows are done live from the WMTH studios at Maine East.
