Recently Eddie released his own single titled “My Rocket girl” we’ve had it in rotation since October so we know it’s good! Give it a listen! https://open.spotify.com/track/6KzfW0Youwx8SDgTpPKOhb?si=iwaMsYgpSvaq9nSnvD3fAA

Longtime WSIA DJ and community volunteer Steve Cameron passed away last Friday at the age of 65.

Steve was a retired FDNY EMT Lieutenant who always liked helping people and was dedicated to public service. Steve had been a recurring member of WSIA since 1985. He served for a time as the Public Service Director and enjoyed his position, keeping the local community informed of relevant cultural events.

Before the pandemic, Steve curated and aired 6 hours' worth of programming every Sunday. His shows included “Tales and Tunes for Tots”, “Sunday Morning in the Afternoon”, and the Putamayo World Radio Hour.

His dedication was truly a testament to his love for WSIA.

In lieu of flowers, the Cameron Family wishes for the public to donate to WSIA, to pass his love onto the next generation of DJs.

If you are interested in making a donation in honor of Steve, please email Laura Maraio at [email protected].

Last week we were paid a visit by Buddy Watson, former Programming director, CSI Class of 1995 and winner of WSIA's Special service award for that year! He was so delighted to meet all the bright faces from WSIA, a generation after he graduated, he also took a few pictures with our current Programming Director Michael Ivany! Glad you visited Buddy!

Today marks the 20th anniversary of the September 11th attacks. Here's a story from our former General Manager Gregory Adamo about the station on that day.

"When I was coming on campus, Lisa, our CUNYCAP, called me to say that she just heard Howard Stern say that a plane hit the World Trade Center. I immediately went on the air and shared information as it came in. Students stayed on, providing updates. That afternoon we got a phone call from South African News. The person said they were trying to get a hold of someone in New York radio, but could not get through. They asked if I would be willing to go on the air. I did, explaining to their listeners that Staten Island was home to many police and firefighters and that we could see the smoke from campus. Later that semester John Ladley and I reached out to the NYC Police Department to offer to set up a system for making sure in any emergency they could use us to get information out. The lieutenant gave each of us his business card and this card, which I still carry in my wallet."

Frank Siller returns to NYC as part of 500-mile 9/11 walk, sharing message of heroism with Staten Island students

If you just heard about Frank Siller’s walk from DC to the site of the World Trade Center, here’s the article.
“Siller’s “Never Forget Walk’' has a two-fold goal: The first is to encourage Americans to “never forget” the sacrifices of the nearly 3,000 Americans — including his brother Stephen — murdered by the events of 9/11. His second goal is to garner support for the foundation, which provides mortgage-free homes to the families of late first responders, Gold Star families and catastrophically injured veterans.”

'What do heroes do? They run toward danger, not away from it,' the CEO of the Tunnel to Towers Foundation tells kids at Blessed Sacrament School.
