93-08-23:  Charles Taylor Named First Full-time Station Manager at WTJU-FM at U.VA.

     CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va., Aug. 24 -- Charles W. (Chuck) Taylor
III, a veteran announcer and a former program director with WTJU-
FM, has been appointed as the University of Virginia-owned radio
station's first full-time station manager.
     Taylor, who has taken an active role with the listener-
supported, previously all-volunteer station since 1979, is the
station's first paid administrator.  The position is affiliated
with the U.Va. Dean of Students Office.
     "Chuck Taylor has been deeply involved with WTJU's
operations as a volunteer program manager, a member of the board
of directors and a popular announcer," said associate dean of
students Ronald Stump.   "In his new position, he will provide
management continuity for the station to help serve the central
Virginia community with the highest quality programming."
     WTJU, 91.1 FM, has offered a diverse combination of rock,
classical, jazz, folk and public affairs programs to the area
since 1957.  It is staffed by some 120 volunteers from the
University and local community.
     Taylor, a native of Suffolk, Va., and a graduate of Elon
College, was on the staff of the Albemarle County Parks and
Recreation Department from 1977 until taking the U.Va. post this
month.  As an announcer, he has featured a wide range of music on
the air and will continue to host a popular rock show as a
volunteer.  He is also a professional photographer specializing
in music performance and live-event photography.
     Taylor said he planned to work with the University and
Central Virginia community in the station's continuing effort to
expand its listener base and public service activities.  No major
changes are planned in WTJU's non-commercial, alternative format
and varied programming, he said.
