...we went to visit KDKA in Pittsburgh, the first commercially licensed radio station in America.
As you can see, I was very happy to escape the crazy atmosphere on campus as finals are fast approaching. I am always really interested in seeing what other stations have to offer - how they operate, what equipment they use, and of course it helps to meet those who work there.

We were given a tour of both the radio and TV stations and were able to ask questions of the Afternoon News Editor Jim Amato. He's not only a jack-of-all-trades, but he's also a wealth of knowledge. If you need to know anything about the history of radio or broadcasting for Jeopardy question, he's your man. He gave some great information that I can utilize in my literature review.
