WRFT Today

 

           Generally, WRFT programs to serve Franklin Township and is loaded with programs and announcements pertaining to the immediate area.  WRFT was the first station in the area, and one of the first in the state, to feature a regular remote broadcast during the high school football season.  "The Friday Morning Sports Show," originates from a local restaurant every Friday morning from 6-7 o'clock.  It's in its fifth year and highlights Township athletes, students, coaches, schools, teachers, and administrators, who are all interviewed by skilled, professional-sounding staff members.  
 

           WRFT has participated in and sponsored major radio promotions, exactly like commercial stations.  The station schedules and programs concerts, Halloween parties, dances, Holiday events, and other promotional tools designed to teach concepts of broadcasting to its staff, and to reach its audience.  We promote Franklin Central athletics, and present play-by-play of football, volleyball, and basketball games.
 

           In addition, WRFT has given its student staff members tremendous and valuable experiences.  Various staff members have been invited to appear at the Indy 500 track to interview track personnel, car owners, and drivers.  Last spring, WRFT staff covered the Lombardi Trophy appearance at a local supermarket.  Two years ago, WRFT covered the national election.  Student reporters were stationed at both party headquarters and called in regular updated election results which were aired.
 

           Active in the community, responsive to the community's needs, and a vibrant, pro-active medium, WRFT continues to break new ground. Soon, we will be streaming our football and volleyball audio play-by-play that will make us available world-wide!  Since you're reading this information about us, you already know we now have our own website to share with everybody in the world!  
 

           For the second time in four years, WRFT was judged by its peers to be the best high school radio station in the state of Indiana last spring.  That's a compliment to the exceptional students serving as staff and management.  The award was a culmination of excellent writing skills, creative performances, and exceptional on-air presentations.

 

           All in all, we think time spent with us, whether it's on the web, or listening to your radio in your home or in your car, or at the beach (preferably one really close to Franklin Township), will be a positve experience.  We invite you to check out the rest of our site, and get to know some of our fabulous staff members!
