KANM gives students alternative to ‘repetitivei
BY STEPHEN WELLS
The Battalion
A young man steps into what will be his
home for the next two hours—a small
room, about the size of a walk-in closet.
There are no windows, and the room is a
rat’s nest of old albums, CDs and broadcast
ing equipment.
He clears his throat, says a few words into
a microphone and begins playing a track by a
band his listeners have probably never heard
and may or may not like.
He is a DJ at KANM and he would not have
it any other way.
KANM radio can be heard on Cable radio
99.9-FM and 1600-AM. To most, the station
just means “the student radio thing.”
Kyle Kovel, KANM public relations directo-
ra and a junior computer science major, said
the radio station is for the benefit of the disc
jockeys as well as listeners.
“This isn’t a job,” Kovel said. “We actually
pay to work here, since we have dues. I give
$25 a semester to be a part of this.”
The job of KANM is not just to give a stu
dent resume experience or to teach broad
casting to a journalism major.
Kristen Palme, KANM music director and
a senior biochemistry, genetics and psychol
ogy major, said the station tries to give Col
lege Station residents a taste of different
kinds of music.
“We want to offer people music they can’t
usually get here in town,” Palme said. "We
also want to provide a couple of hours for
artistic expression. We offer an artist’s outlet
gallery for the unknown artist."
Do not expect to hear a Matchbox 20 song
when tuning in.
Majed Azouqah, KANM assistant music di
rector and a junior electrical engineering ma
jor, said KANM is the place to listen for undis
covered talent.
"Personally, I get sick of the music that gets
played [in B-CS],” Azouqah said. "You hear the
same dumb song 300 times a day. What’s the
fun in that? Overexposure will kill a good song.”
Ryan Boone, a sophomore accounting ma
jor, said sometimes popular music is the best
choice for a radio station.
“Why tune in if you don’t know the artist?"
Boone said. “You listen to the radio and hope
they play your favorite song. These songs are
popular because a lot of people like them."
Ultimately, the decision of what kind of mu
sic to play rests on the DJs shoulders.
“The DJ gets full control over their show,”
Azouqah said. “The only restriction we give
them is to try not to play a Top 40 song, or do
some things that might offend some listeners."
There is always a drive to recruit more DJs,
even if KANM already has enough to cover
their airtime, from 6 a.m. to 2 a.m.
“We usually end up with 120 to 130 per
cent more DJs than we need at the beginning
of the semester, but as the semester goes on,
the number goes down,” Kovel said. "We’re
always looking for more DJs.”
If a student does not want the responsibil
ity or does not have the time for a regular
show, KANM offers other options.

Rounders rolls its way to top of box of
LOS ANGELES (AP) — The
gambling drama Rounders played
its cards right to lead the box of
fice going into the fall season, but
summer releases including
There’s Something About Mary
dominated the Top 10.
Rounders, relying on the draw
ing power of Matt Damon as a re
formed card shark drawn into a
deadly game, had $8.8 million in
ticket sales during the weekend.
The only other debuting film in
the Top 10 was Simon Birch,
which opened in fifth place with
$3.3 million, according to indus
try estimates Sunday.
Everything else on the list
came out during the summer.
Mary, the raunchy comedy that
rose to No. 1 after eight weeks, fell
back to second place with weekend
sales of about $8 million.
It retains broad audience ap
peal because at its core it is a
warm love story with an interest
ing heroine, said Tom Sherak,
chairman of the 20th Century Fox
domestic film division.
“She’s nice, she’s warmheart
ed, she’s everybody’s girl next
door,” Sherak said. “And one joke
after another makes it funny, and
people want to laugh.”
The summer holdovers also in
cluded Armageddon, which
closed in on the $200 million
mark in gross sales as it tied with
How Stella Got Her Groove Back
for ninth place, according to Ex
hibitor Relations Co. Inc.
“A summer film doesn’t know
summer’s over if it’s a good film,”
Paul Dergarabedian, president of
Exhibitor Relations, said.
The strength of the holdovers
could make it tough for the more
than 140 movies set for release in
the fall season,wt
the weekend.
