About

This is 89.3 WAMH

Welcome to WAMH Radio! We provide the Pioneer Valley with the finest on air in music, news, and sports. WAMH broadcasts on 89.3 FM out of Keefe Campus Center at Amherst College.

Known for its alternative takes, WAMH is committed to playing new music every hour and delivering quality content for listeners of all types. Here at WAMH, we love providing students with the opportunity to express themselves through radio content. Moreover, WAMH prides itself as the main player in bringing concerts and events to the Amherst College campus. WAMH believes that radio is meant not only to fill the empty auditory spaces in our cars and elevators, but also to bring people together, foster community, and develop lasting relationships. Started in the 1940s, WAMH has been home to symphonic stylings and exhilarating debate for nearly 75 years.

Live concerts

Meet the WAMH E-Board

Holden Orias '24

Station Manager

Holden Orias grew up in Hermosa Beach, California (please ask him about the score for “La La Land”). He is a fervent consumer of yacht rock and synth pop, most prominently Steely Dan, Hall & Oates, Joe Jackson, and Chromeo. He hopes to help Amherst students find their voice as DJs, all while broadcasting soft rock and sports talk on his show, “Southpaw Soundbites.”

Sara Attia '24

Chief Operator

Sara Attia was in the Mountain Goats’ top 0.5% of Spotify listeners for 2021, and listens to a healthier amount of city pop. They were born and raised in central New Jersey. Sara’s responsibilities include staying in the good graces of the radio gods long enough to one day become a beloved personality on the Pioneer Valley airwaves.

Lucas Bernstein '25

Events Director + Social Team

Lucas Bernstein was raised in St. Louis, Missouri (go Cards!) on a steady diet of classic rock and early alternative. His favorite artists today include the Dismemberment Plan, Elliott Smith, Sidney Gish, and Tyler, the Creator, among many others. He’s probably heard your favorite artist “a couple of times,” too. His responsibilities at WAMH include organizing concerts and panning for gold in the station’s CD bin.

Dustin Copeland '25

Technical Director + Treasurer + Production Team

Dustin grew up in the middle of New Jersey around way too much nu-metal, contemporary pop, and americana. Now he listens to hyperpop and also real music, sometimes. Dustin likes loud music, so his responsibilities at the studio mostly involve increasing the capacity for us to produce, record, and play back loud music as easily and as often as possible.

Milo Leahy-Miller '24​

Production Manager

My name is Milo. I’m from Sag Harbor, NY. I mainly listen to post punk, indie/alt rock, and neo psychedelic music.

Quinn Nelson '25

Programming Director + Publicity Co-Director

human embodiment of the “judgement night” soundtrack.

Kayikunmi ’25

Publicity Co-Director

Kayikunmi grew up in Lagos Nigeria, and lives in New Jersey. She mainly listens to Afrobeats, RnB, One Direction and Podcasts. When Kayikunmi is not listening to music, she’ll probably be reading a new adult novel and writing a detailed review on it, or live tweeting the latest reality dating show.

Chris Tun '25

Music Director + Production Team

Chris is from a suburb of Atlanta. He grew up surrounded by music, and considers it as a big part of his life. When he is not listening to music, he watches pretentious art films and roleplays as a hardboiled detective. He says he plays guitar, and that is about it. Like an onion, he has many layers of musical interests, and loves to get music requests (as long as he likes them).

Sylvie Wolff '25

Archivist + Social Team

Sylvie is from Baltimore, Maryland. She still owns (and regularly wears) the t-shirt her mom bought for her when she was 8 at a Katy Perry concert. She enjoys sweet potatoes, green clothing, and using Spotify like social media.
