Brief Biography

Osei Terry Chandler

Osei Terry Chandler began his broadcast “career” as a volunteer at this college station, WMMC AM (MacMurray College).

In 1978 he was taken on as a volunteer jazz producer/host at WSCI FM 89.3 (South Carolina Educational Radio Network) of the Wednesday Night Jam Session (WNJS); his supervisor was Marcia Warnock. In April 1979 he expanded his programming to include a second offering on WSCI FM – The Roots Musik Karamu (RMK). RMK focuses on Reggae music but includes other genres from the Caribbean, Africa, and the USA. The WNJS was terminated circa 1980, but the RMK continues even now, broadcasting (since 1995) in Greenville, Columbia, and Charleston. “RMK features positive ‘old school’ Reggae, Calypso, and Soca, as well as contemporary music from those genres that have that old school feeling”, says Osei.

Over the years, Osei has had programs on more than a half dozen radio stations, but he never stopped offering The Roots Musik Karamu on public radio (now called ETV radio). The Roots Musik Karamu airs from 10 pm until midnight on WSCI FM 89.3, WLTR FM 91.3, and Greenville at WEPR FM 90.1.

“I am looking forward with great enthusiasm at what I can contribute to TTC’s station.”

We are On The Air!

Trident Technical College’s campus diversity is reflected in the Neo-eclectic format of the college’s Internet Radio station, located in the historic Charleston, South Carolina, area.  

TTC Internet Radio strives to provide an alternative to conventional commercial radio by presenting informative and entertaining programming in a format akin to blending the intelligence of Public Radio with a diverse musical play list.

 The Internet Radio station offers students in TTC’s Film, Radio and Television Program an opportunity to use the skills learned from various media courses in a real life, “hands-on” application.  Students in the Radio Certificate program create and produce most of the programming, taking advantage of the vast reservoir of faculty knowledge and experience available at Trident Technical College.

Airtime and production assistance is available to anyone on campus.  Submissions of innovative uses of audio are welcomed from the Charleston community and our greater listening audience.
