VIDEO: Greenburgh After-School Program Adds Radio, TV

Xposure Foundation Inc., which runs an after-school program in Greenburgh, has added Xposure Greenburgh Fun Finance Radio (WXGB) to its offerings, organizers announced.

The innovative program is an internet-based broadcast TV/Radio station capable of live broadcasts and podcasts. The TV/Radio studio is located on the first floor of Greenburgh Town Hall.

Ten-year-old students are the reporters for the broadcast, interviewing public officials and civic leaders from the studio.

“These reporters were prepared, did their homework coming up with great questions, did not read from notes and wouldn’t let me walk out when the questions got difficult,” said Greenburgh Town Supervisor Paul Feiner in a statement.

The purpose of Xposure Greenburgh Fun Finance Radio (WXGB), according to organizers is “to give our young people a voice and the tools to express their ideas. Xposure Greenburgh Fun Finance Radio is designed to build confidence, develop communication skills, and encourage critical -thinking and local/global awareness among young people. Through the immediacy and intimacy of TV/Radio our young people have an opportunity to share their experiences and connect with the broader community. Xposure Greenburgh Fun Finance Radio (WXGB) will be posting a show schedule later this month.”
