Welcome to WHRT

WHRT is a student run radio station that serves the students of Sacred Heart University. We mix the best in new music and talk with favorites of the past. Those involved with the station can expect a fun environment that offers real world challenges applicable to any career path.
We invite students from any major to join us for our weekly meeting and try your hand at broadcasting or contribute behind the scenes.

Congrats to all of the DJs during the 2008-2009 year! With your hard work and dedication WHRT-the Heart has been named the 2008-2009 organization of the year at Sacred Heart University! Through this great honor the e-board would like to acknowledge all of the enthusiasm all our DJs have and we could not be more proud! Congrats to all and thank your for a great year! See you in the fall!

On Saturday, April 4, Sacred Heart held their annual Pioneer Pull to raise money for a charity.  This year they chose to support Alison Cubbellotti and her group “Ali’s Angels”. Ten teams competed in the tug-o-war competition ranging from residential life and student government, to Habitat for Humanity and WHRT, the student run radio station. The WHRT team consisted of DJs: Paul Carrier, Dave Choy, Dominick DiMaria, and Dominick Filiciello.  We are proud of our DJs for competing and raising money for Alison.

Students and members of the Sacred Heart University faculty turn into ‘news junkies’ each Thursday between 1 and 3 P.M. on the WHRT Radio program of the same name. Greg Golda, a clinical instructor with the Department of Media Studies and Digital Culture, hosts the program each week.

During summer vacation, while many students relaxed on the beach and enjoyed down time with friends, the members of WHRT student radio station were hard at work. The station is located in the booth across from Flik, which was recently renovated and can be viewed through the window in main hallway. Gregory Golda, clinical instructor of media studies, has taken on the role of faculty advisor in order to organize the station's operations.
"Every year the club is given a budget but it was never really put into use. The club was disorganized and only had three active DJs. They asked me to come in as a faculty advisor and reorganize everything," said Golda.
