-'''WNTH''' is the [[FM radio|FM]] [[radio station]] of [[New Trier High School]]. The station broadcasts to most parts of [[New Trier Township, Illinois]] at 88.1 FM.
-==Mission==
-WNTH is owned by the New Trier school board. The station has an output power of 100 watts, which is sufficient to reach all the territory in the New Trier district and much of the surrounding area. As of the 2006-2007 school year, the station broadcasts 24 hours a day, including Sundays and school holidays.
-The station is run by students under the supervision of faculty members. Each year, a new group of students is selected to take charge of the station. This group consists of the board, which includes 10 to 12 positions, and a staff of students.
-In addition to broadcasting WNTH student-hosted shows, the station also broadcasts live coverage of New Trier athletic events.

-==Format==
-WNTH gives the students of [[New Trier High School]] the opportunity to have sports, music, talk and news shows seven days a week.
-The radio station broadcasts live feeds of many concerts and games throughout the year. In past years, sports shows have featured guests such as All-Pro NFL defensive tackle [[Tommie Harris]], formerly of the [[Chicago Bears]], major league baseball player [[Craig Counsell]] and [[White Sox]] Assistant General Manager [[Rick Hahn]]. It also has featured [[ESPN]]'s [[Dick Vitale]] and [[Mike Greenberg]].
-==Board==
-The Station Manager of the Winnetka Campus for the 2011-2012 school year is Chris Revord. At only 18, Chris Revord manages the station with cunning tactics and stellar grammar. The head of the Freshman Campus radio station in Northfield, is Ben Greene. During his tenure, Ben has created himself as a role model to freshman, who are in their first year of radio broadcasting. About Ben Greene, Station Manager Chris Revord said "He is the best Freshman Liaison any of us have ever seen at WNTH. I mean, there is no doubt that he will always be a legend here." Another key member of the WNTH Board is Sam Graboys, the Music Director for the high school radio station. After a long day of radio, Sam told reporters, "I play the music that my ears, your ears, and their ears want to hear. I love what I do!" Sam Graboys is what the common fellow would say is a person who is good.
-==Philanthropy==
-WNTH is known locally for "RadioThon", their annual charity broadcast. The event, usually held on a Sunday in late spring, features on-air interviews with actors, musicians, politicians, and other people of interest from across the nation. All money raised goes to a charity selected by the WNTH Radio Board prior to the event. The event began in 2005 as a unique way to raise money for victims of the [[2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami]]. However, the event was so successful in raising money that the WNTH Board of Directors decided to continue the tradition annually. In recent years, the event has raised thousands for children's oncology research, [[Dave Eggers]]' student tutoring network [[826 National]] and [[Kiva (organization)]].
-The most exciting aspect of RadioThon is the variety of guests interviewed during the event. Guests have included [[Paul Rudd]], [[Rod Blagojevich]], Eggers, [[Ray Romano]], [[Tom Ricketts]], [[Nick Offerman]] of [[NBC]] Comedy [[Parks and Recreation]], and New Trier graduate [[Rainn Wilson]].
