Ben is only the second station manager in WGBX history. Coming into his second year, he is looking for an exciting fall semester to get the ball rolling. His number one goal this year is to expand the station into an important entertainment and news outlet for students to listen to. He is also organizing concerts in the fall for the students outside the Union. Ben has accomplished much in soliciting donations for equipment, manages on-air talent, created a station business plan, has proposed a budget for 2008-2009 that has been passed, and has broadcasted the first ever sporting event in station history. Ben has also advocated to get softball, volleyball, and soccer on the station which was successful. Under his watch the amount of DJs has tripled and the amount of listeners has almost tripled.

Alex Ostrander Music Director

Al, as everyone calls him, is the first ever Music Director for WGBX. He has been working hard on bringing music to the station. Al brought the first ever concert in WGBX history to campus. He has been a great asset to WGBX and will continue to do so in the future as they push towards music on the station.
Tim Maylander News Director
P: 920.378.6409 | E: mayltl26@uwgb.edu
Tim is WGBX’s first ever news director. As a rookie DJ this semester, Tim is new to the station, but he brings tons of enthusiasm to his shows and the management. As the news director, Tim is in charge of producing the ‘2-minute news and weather’ segment, which desperately needs a new name – it usually runs well over three minutes. Members of the Fourth Estate write the briefs, and on special days members of Phlash TV’s Channel 20 do the voice-overs, which are otherwise covered by Tim. He’s always looking for campus or area politicians to interview, so if you or someone you work for would like to get on the air, be sure to drop the station a line!
