The Breeze - JMU's student newspaper (447 words)
Junior WXJM programming manager Jess Woodward said that WXJM operates on a points system, through which volunteers get to pick their shows based on how much work they have done around the station.
Woodward said that current WXJM managers were not aware of the radio station’s move, not because the university was pulling a "sneak attack" on them, but because past managers did not inform them.
Woodward said there are advantages to moving to the new location, and she is looking forward to the new location’s clean, professional appearance, and that the university has promised to fulfill the station’s requests such as a card reader for added security.
