WWNW Digital 88.9 FM, ¾¨Ó㴫ý's College's radio station, will soon expand its coverage area.
Ìý"Until this summer, the station was very low power - 100 watts at a low location on campus," said Dr. David Barner, chair of the Department of Communication Studies, Theatre, and Art.Ìý "This summer the antenna was moved to the borough tower on the hill across from the President's house, and power was increased to 200 watts."
Ìý"The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has just granted the College's request for a 4000-watt station," Barner said.Ìý "This would greatly extend the coverage area.Ìý Broadcast students will have the ability to develop programming to serve a broader off-campus community, since the signal will now be strong enough to do so.Ìý The coverage area will cover all of Lawrence County and expand into Eastern Ohio and north to the Shenango Valley."
Ìý"Titan radio's goal will be to serve our community with quality programming, including Titan sports broadcasts, while giving ¾¨Ó㴫ý students the opportunity to gain experience in the real world," Barner said.Ìý "The radio staff is excited that more alumni and local residents will benefit from our increased signal."

Dr. Sherri Pataki, visiting assistant professor of psychology at ¾¨Ó㴫ý, recently presented her research, "Communal Strength and Judgments of Altruism, Selfishness, and Guilt," at the American Psychological Association Convention in Washington, D.C.
"This research addresses the issue of human motivation and suggests that our actions are evaluated differently depending on our relationship to those we choose to help," Pataki said. "We found that people are perceived more positively when they help people outside of their immediate circle of friends and family than when they help their own families or close friends. We also found that failure to provide help outside the context of one's own close relationships has fewer negative repercussions, whereas failure to provide help within one's own family and among close friends is viewed more negatively."
Pataki, who has been with ¾¨Ó㴫ý since 2004, earned her undergraduate degree from Allegheny College, and her Ph.D. from Carnegie Mellon University.
Contact Pataki at (724) 946-7361 or e-mail patakisp@westminster.edu for more information.
