WLTL Radio:  Empowering Students Since 1968

Here is the cool thing about being involved in WLTL.  Whether or not you go into radio or media isn't the most important part of being involved in WLTL.  The most important thing all of our students take away from their time here is the ability to be better communicators, business leaders and yes, even sometimes better leaders in the media field.

No matter what field you end up in, once you are a WLTL'er you are one for life!  If you ever were involved in WLTL and you are not in our Alumni Database, get us your info now!  Send your name, graduating year and email address to Chris Thomas at cthomas@wltl.net.  

​We will then add you to our email list where you can find out about opportunities to continue to support WLTL, come back and host Alumni Shows and more!

WLTL - A Decade of Broadcasting (1978)

We recently unearthed this gem from 1978. A book put together by students to commemorate the first 10 years of WLTL.  

We hope you enjoy the memories and learning about WLTL!

WLTL Alumni in Media and Entertainment

While we are proud of all of our alumni, we always like to highlight those who have gone on to work in the media/entertainment field in some way, shape or form.  If this is you and your name isn't below let us know!  Contact Chris Thomas at cthomas@wltl.net with your current position, name, graduation year and any cool photos you have and we will get you up on the site ASAP!
