KBeach radio, the online radio station for Cal State Long Beach will be bradcasting to FM/HD radio by the end of the Spring 2012 semester, that will be heard by the Los Angeles and Orange County area. 


This new bradcasting channel will increase viewership and start making KBeach Radio a popular radio station for music. It will be easier and more widely listened to in the car instead of only listening to online. 


The Daily 49er, the university's widely popular newspaper featured this announcement which also included KBeach's Student Manager, Dominic Paramo and his view on it. “Right now, being only an Internet station, we can only reach those people that actively tune in to the online station and search for us,” Paramo said.“But once we have HD 3, it will make it more accessible in all the newer cars for anyone who is maybe interested in listening,” he continued. “They can just tune right in.”

Famela Phal a former features spokesperson for the radio that I used to team up with has had positive reactions to this new broadcasting channel. "I think it's going to be a difficult change but on the bright side it will be a great one. Getting into public radio will give the listeners entertainment and news updates wherever you are."

      and Elizabeth: Facebook Event         

Club Italia at Cal State University Long Beach will be highlighting the history of Olive Oil as well as a special tasting. This is going to be an interesting and fun event! The presentation will be on Monday, April 23, 2012 in the AS Building, Room 384, next to the Beach Hut at 12:30-1:30 p.m. I recommend coming out to this event to meet new people, socialize, and taste some Olive Oil.

Elizabeth Fiorello-Sievers, graduate with Italian Studies and French from Cal State Long Beach, and former Club Italia member, will be presenting fun facts about Olive Oil because her family runs an Olive Oil business in Napa Valley.  

President of Club Italia, Vincenzo Amalfitano, insists that people should attend this event because you will learn something new and how Olive Oil plays a huge role in the Mediterranean and Italian diet.

"You may even find out facts you didn't know before and help yourself understand the process of how the olives are grown, picked, pressed, bottled, and sold for retail," Vincenzo says.

After attending this event, you will want to be a part of this campus organization. Even if you are not Italian, this club always has fun, informative, and social gathering events that will make your college experience a whole lot better. It is also free to join.

"People should join this club because it is one of the most active clubs on campus. Not only do we engage in academic lectures and events in the community, we also socialize around campus and in Belmont Shore, so its everything you want from a campus club," Vincenzo says . 

Don't forget to add this to your calendar and be sure to come out and support Club Italia at CSULB!
