So you can see that my point is a couple things. One is that the college radio experience for me without it I would be nowhere, or college writing it doesn’t have to be radio. Television just the whole medium, public speaking, the writing part, meeting people, making contacts and all that.

Growing up in New Jersey, Schuck always knew he wanted to be on the radio. Schuck’s high school guidance counselor directed him towards Seton Hall located close to him in New Jersey.

Seton Hall’s station is WSOU and is one of the oldest college radio stations in the United States. The station has a reach of 100 miles and is a heavy rock station, although when Schuck was a student it was top 40.

During his time at WSOU Schuck had the opportunity to go on the road and broadcast the Seton Hall Pirates basketball games as well as host his own show every week and a news cast every other day. “without any of this, I wouldn’t be anywhere.” Schuck says.

During his junior year Schuck served as the news director and during his senior year he served as the station manager at WSOU.

Even after Schuck Graduated from Seton Hall his time at WSOU still found a way to impact his life.

While working in California CNBC started a business radio station and through a friend from his time at WSOU he was able to get a job. This job at CNBC gave him the opportunity to work with and make a connection to 1010 WINS to eventually Schuck started working at 1010 WINS in 2000.

So college radio for me really was the key, so that’s the point I’m trying to make. Without it I certainly wouldn’t be doing what I’m doing now.

Schuck is still connected to Seton Hall University, where he serves on the University’s Board of Directors.

Schuck also remains involved with WSOU. Once or twice a week Schuck spends time at his college station helping the students and critiquing their work, he also brings Students to event like the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade so that they can gain some outside experience.
