What started as a college-era idea turned into a groundbreaking reality for students in North Alabama. In this episode of Sentinel Soundbytes, we go behind the scenes of WD&D 101.7 FM — the region’s first high school radio station — and the story of how it came to life.
Dr. Chris Brown and Jeremy Turner share the journey from navigating FCC regulations and securing funding to building a fully functional studio and launching live on the air. Along the way, they highlight the students who helped bring it all together, including the hands-on work that made the station operational.
More than just a radio station, WD&D is a creative platform — giving students the opportunity to produce original music, host shows, and even broadcast unique content like literary discussions and Dungeons & Dragons campaigns. It’s a story about vision, persistence, and creating real-world opportunities for the next generation.
