HISTORY
 Delta started its radio program in
1978. The idea came from Mr. Jerry Jones, who taught at the school
for thirty-four years and retired in 2002. He started as the speech
and drama teacher and ended up in mass media in charge of the radio
and TV stations.
Early in his teaching career, a memorable moment occurred. In 1978
one morning at 2:30 am, 90.5 WWDS radio station went on the air for the first time.
It was then that it all began.
Another tremendous achievement for Mr. Jones and his students came
in 1994 when Delta first broadcast a TV show on the local
public-access channel.
The radio TV class is now responsible for doing the TV announcements
in the morning, for staffing the WWDS radio station during the day,
and for announcing football and basketball home games for both the
boys and the girls. The students in the class also do one project
every semester featuring an academic department at Delta to inform
those students thinking about moving to the school.
