35 Years Of Loyola Radio
December 1st, 2010 by WLOY Staff
On November 20th, 2010 WLOY hosted the very first reunion for Loyola Radio Alumni! It was the exact day in 1975 that WVLC first signed on to broadcast in the cafeteria so it is clearly a very special day for radio. From one to seven our current staff was able to welcome past members of the radio back to the station, listening to their stories and broadcasting live along side them. The afternoon was full of good food, good music, and more importantly, great company.

Join WLOY in the Mayor’s Christmas Parade!
December 1st, 2010 by WLOY Staff
This year WLOY was invited to be in the 38th Annual Mayor’s Christmas Parade this Sunday December 5! What better way to get in the holiday spirit than to join the WLOY van in its Yuletide journey. The parade departs from Baltimore Polytechnic High School parking lot (where Loyola buses meet you to go to the Ridley Athletic Complex) at 2pm. From there, the parade will follow Falls Road south to 36th Street in Hampden (The Avenue), turn East on 36th Street and North on Chestnut Ave, ending at 37th and Chestnut. WLOY is very excited to represent Loyola in this year’s parade, and we’re proud to say that we will be the only non-commercial media operation involved in one of Baltimore’s great traditions!

Road to a Championship: Dylon Cormier
December 1st, 2010 by WLOY Staff
Dylon Cormier and Jamal Barney. Together, the hope of a MAAC Conference Championship and a NCAA run are present and alive.
First off, Dylon Cormier, Freshman Guard, has done a great job so far for the Greyhounds as the starting Point Guard. In his outings, Cormier has had a great command for the game, dictating plays well and controlling the atmosphere on the court. In many ways, Cormier works the ball as if a younger Derek Fischer or Steve Nash were present. When he played at now-defunct Cardinal Gibbons High school, he was chosen two times for the All-Baltimore selection. As he takes command as the starting point guard, Cormier will be looked at by opposing teams as a force to be reckoned with.

November 29th, 2010 by WLOY Staff
In this week’s edition of the 7 Minute Sports Slam, I bring to you the last segment in the Jim Paquette Interview series.
In this segment, Jim and I talked about the expectations of the Basketball Team, a team that this year shows promise in making it far in the MAAC Championship, and the overall expectations of each respective sport.
In the interview, I try to determine why certain support for specific sports fall the way that they do. Jim does a great job of opening up the Athletic Program to students and allowing for students to get a better understand of things under the hood of our program.
