Dr. John Owens is the faculty advisor for BearCast Media at the University of Cincinnati. His experience advising student media began in the early ‘90s as the graduate student manager of WVUA-FM at the University of Alabama. In his first full-time teaching position at Western Carolina University, Owens advised WWCU-FM and then came to the University of Cincinnati in the fall of 1999 with the challenge of starting a student-run, streaming radio station. I continue to support student media and C.B.I. because I believe they are incredible centers of creativity and diversity.
