No more cold, lonely nights in the studio having to fulfil one’s duties as “board op” for a live sports broadcast! No more scrabbling around to find a replacement for the board op who “forgot” at the last minute! WHJE is delighted to announce that our new Zetta2Go software enables the sports dept to run live broadcasts via a laptop in the stadium or gym. This is a game changer for the station, and is nearly the final part of the upgrading jigsaw that has been put together over the last few months.
Charlie Dein (who has been an incredible member of the sports dept in recent years, with his willingness and generosity to help out as a board op in the past) can be seen here operating the new equipment while Josh Melby calls the Girls Varsity Basketball game against HSE last night.

About the Contributors
Dominic James, Station Manager
Dominic James is WHJE’s Radio Teacher/Station Manager. He enjoys sharing his love of rock music with students and telling crazy stories of the unusual people he has met, but he still struggles to understand Instagram and TikTok. A Brit by birth, but now an American citizen, one of his favorite things is persuading people to drink cups of hot tea on July 4th. It really does cool you down.
Hi, my name is Charlie Dein and I am a junior at CHS and I am entering my third year in WHJE and second year as a staff member. In my first year as a staff member on WHJE I was a member of the sports department, and did broadcasts for many sports including Soccer, Basketball, Lacrosse, Baseball, and Softball. I have a live show with fellow staff members Cooper Sanders, Nate Auch, Reilly Sweeney, and Gavin Snyder In my second year as a staff member I look forward to being able to do more sports broadcasts and start doing football broadcasts. I also look forward to possibly being a sports manager next year and improving the station.
Josh Melby, Beats Manager
Josh Melby is a national award-winning on air personality for The Greyhound Media Network. As a senior in his third year of radio, he has taken on the role of Beats Manager here at the station. However, Melby dedicates most of his time in radio to his sports broadcasts. Throughout the years he has broadcasted nearly every sport from football, to basketball, even to softball and so on. He not only broadcasts Carmel Highschool sports, but talks about professional sports on his live show, At The Buzzer. At The Buzzer has been around since 2022, and features Josh Melby, JT Moore, Hudson Kirsh, and Josh Ott. Now Melby has done additional work with CHTV. As a matter of fact Melby was awarded the best Television Pregame Show in the nation alongside Dashaun Barnes, for their Football Pregame Show vs. Warren Central in his junior year. Apart from his time spent in media, you can catch Melby serving in CHS Student Government, or playing rec sports with his buddies!
