WQHS Radio

01/24/2023

Hello everyone,

Unfortunately, the University has just informed us (with no advance notice) that we will not have access to our radio station located in the Hollenback Center on 30th and South Street from April 2023 - April 2024 due to renovations of the building. Rather than helping us find a temporary location or offering any other accommodation, we were told that relocation is "not a feasible option since there is no comparable space, and it is cost prohibitive."

This shut-down will impact the group in ways that are irreparable, such as disassembling the advanced wiring of our broadcasting technologies to taking away 80 years worth of vinyl/cds from our use. WQHS is more than just a club, we are a community. Many members rely on this group for creative expression and for an escape from the pressures of Penn.

It is disappointing knowing the University does not see value in public broadcasting and is unwilling to make the necessary accommodations for our members. Please sign our petition demanding a temporary relocation of our station and help college radio stay alive!

Move WQHS to a temporary location.

Thank you Tunika for her thoughtful consideration of fallen alien by FKA Twigs !!! read below

Even if she hasn’t always felt traditionally beautiful, FKA twigs has always felt different. For her, this is her strength, and her long-awaited second album MAGDALENE presented an artist reflecting on and accepting this. In the five years between her first album LP1 and her 2019 sophomore...

Armani White, Chill Moody, Nic Hanson, and Nick from Rubber; shoutout Sharon for bringing together the stories of these Philly natives 🎙️

Another COVID interview; this time: Hollow Comet 🤝 Shout out Kelly Liu for the continuous wonderful content!

Hollow Comet first catches our attention with its sweet, crooning acoustic style, then with its unbridled exploration of an electronic sound evoking the haunting and the cinematic. Strange Ranger vocalist Isaac Eiger began releasing songs under his solo project, Hollow Comet, a little over a...
