Students learn by doing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In operation since February of 2017, the school\u2019s radio classes are the brainchild of instructor Jay Schmaltz. \u201cOur goal is not just to develop broadcasters. The goal is to get kids back to the basics [of communication]. When they are done with this class, they will know how to interview and talk to people,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>The stations broadcast 24 hours a day, year-round. KLHS (AM 1620) is a low-watt station with a radius of about three miles around the city of Linton. It plays Oldies music and is broadcast on BEK TV\u2019s cable channel 22. KLPS is a strictly online format station that plays Outlaw Country music.<\/p>\n<p>Students provide all the voice talent for the stations, write stories and ad copy, sell advertising and conduct marketing including prize giveaways.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was very impressed with the students and curriculum,\u201d said Kevin Ressler, chief sales, marketing &amp; brand officer for Farmers Union Insurance. \u201cIt\u2019s a unique learning opportunity and one we\u2019re proud to support.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>FUI is also the premier sponsor of the North Dakota High School Activities Association and the BEK Broadcasting Network which televises high school athletic competitions throughout North Dakota.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jamestown (NDFU) Student-led radio stations KLHS and KLPS \u2013 broadcast from inside Linton Public High School in southcentral North Dakota \u2013 recently received a financial boost from Farmers Union Insurance that allows for studio expansion. \u201cThe sponsorship has allowed us to construct a third studio and provide enhanced kinesthetic learning.
