City of Indianapolis honors volunteer Jim Walsh

2010-10-12T07:24:00.000-07:00

INDIANAPOLIS – Mayor Greg Ballard recognized 11 outstanding volunteers at the 2010 Mayor’s Community

Service Awards this afternoon at the Eugene and Marilyn Glick Indiana History Center. The Mayor’s

Community Service Awards were created to highlight and honor Indianapolis residents who continually give

their time to strengthening their communities through various volunteer contributions and service projects.

“Our city is widely recognized for being a compassionate and friendly community that looks out for its

neighbors,” Mayor Ballard said. “These 11 individuals represent the very best that the City of Indianapolis

offers in the area of volunteerism and community service. It is a privilege for me to honor them for their

exemplary volunteer contribution and dedication to bettering their neighborhoods and ultimately our city.”

The 18th annual awards ceremony recognized 11 public servants from throughout Indianapolis and Marion

County. Following tradition, a brick will be engraved with each recipient’s name and placed at the Mayor’s

Volunteer Plaza at the 11th Street Canal basin.Jim Walsh In 1993, Jim Walsh began working on a community project with the aspiration to develop a radio

station that would increase the lack of music diversity in the community and be “a voice for many voices.” His

dream came to fruition in June 2009 and has since become a popular and heavily enjoyed not-for-profit radio

station. Operated by volunteers, friends, and supporters of Jim’s dream, 91.9 WITT works to “promote

understanding and respect among individuals of diverse cultures, beliefs, and lifestyles.” Jim devotes an

average of 120 hours per month to the radio station, highlighting county events, holding fundraising concerts

with local musicians, airing live studio performances, and playing an endless variety of music genres. He

creates about 22 hours of programming a day that he fills with music, commentary, and current news, fulfilling

the mission of being a community radio station.

LOCAL TOWN RENAMES STREET IN HONOR OF 91.9

2009-10-28T05:30:00.000-07:00

One of the central Indiana towns (never to be revealed which) has recently

renamed its main thoroughfare after our beloved call letters. Now, thousands

can not only hear WITT they can actually drive on it. What a wonderful

time to be living. Think about it. Commuting on WITT and digging it at the

same time. What a country!!!

BTW, do not even consider MapQuesting this street. All of the 91.9 agents have

been briefed on the secrecy and national security issues involved herein. Thus

all knowledge of this street has been dissovled, Mr. Phelps. Your mission is to

enjoy listening to WITT, driving on it when you can, and supporting it until

your wallet is totally empty. God Bless America.

Or something like that.

MEET SOME OF THE WITT VOICES.....here's Matt Masters

2009-05-05T11:40:00.001-07:00

The Rock N Rhythm Revue showcases the musical epoch of 1945-1965 encompassing the genres of jazz, blues, jump blues, doo-wop, gospel, rockabilly, R&B, rock n roll, garage rock, early British invasion – and, well, you get the picture. No wimpy malt shop memories, nor vanilla pop music of that era - it's gotta have rhythm and it's gotta rock, but that doesn’t mean it has to be up-tempo. The Revue is all about the 3 'E's'........it enlightens, it educates and, most importantly, it entertains!

Each program is theme-based: sometimes an artist or record label is showcased, or sometimes a genre or one song is featured (in its various versions) and sometimes it’s just a theme we all have in common.

The Rock N Rhythm Revue was created by Matt Masters who also produces and hosts the program. Matt began the Revue for his late uncle Chuck Steker and resides in Greenfield, Indiana with his wife Andi, son Jett and daughter Sonnet.

Community radio is free to listen to, but costs to run!!!

2008-11-19T17:56:00.000-08:00

Community radio is indeed free to listen to. But you know, it costs quite
a bit to run. In the case of WITT it costs quite a bit to start up. There are all kinds of expenses....a new antenna, an upgrade to a donated transmitter, an EAS monitor, DSL/ATandT costs, and the list goes on and on.
How can you help financially? Easy. Please go to www.919witt.org and make a donation. Any amount. Really. Any amount. It takes just a little from many to make it all happen and happen well.
All of us who have created WITT have done so without one red cent of income. In fact we have opened our wallets many times to cover various expenses along this 15 year journey.
Won't you help in some way? Thank you so much for even considering to donate.
