"We have rules to follow now, we have guest rules, we know we're representative of SHU and we intend to reflect well on the University" said Prial.
The newly added rules are going to be necessary considering the station now has 24 new shows that run Monday through Thursday from 7 p. m. to 1 a. m. Also, every weekday morning from 7 a.m. to 9 a.m., "The morning show with Alex Zeller" is on air and it features rock and talk radio.
"In the past it was just kids playing whatever songs they wanted and usually only their friends listened. We're trying to highlight different genres of music," said Napolitano.
Prial's radio show "Reckless Rock Radio" is shared with Theresa Campbell. The two play their favorite songs and then debate their tastes in music. The Friday show schedule is almost completely booked until 7 p.m. The shows will feature a variety of genres and artists.
"[The DJs] are totally committed to whatever we ask of them and everyone is having fun with it. Students and listeners should expect big things out of us this year. Our goal is to make this one of the bigger clubs on campus" said Daly.
One of the newest and exciting additions to the schedule is the "Countdown with Lacey and Chris."
"Tuesday afternoons is our weekly countdown and students can vote for their favorite songs online," said Napolitano.
For students who are off campus, you can connect to SHUVPN and stream the station online; that way you never have to miss out on your favorite show. The club made the station as available as possible to draw in listeners and connect students to one another.
"I spend as much time as possible in the studio because I'm so excited and I want the station to be there for the whole student body," said Daly. "I'm very excited about the new DJs and I'm looking forward to see how we progress and develop together."
Not only are the DJs creating and hosting shows on the air, but they are also looking to help clubs host events.
"I want us to have a major presence not just in the hallways, but at events throughout the year as well," said Daly. "If a club is doing an event, we would be more then happy to DJ it."
