Our Story
What started as a 1-hour show on MyBayArea Radio has now blossomed into a full-time digital radio station broadcasting from Ball High School in Galveston, TX and part of the Galveston Independent School District (GISD).
Students in the Media Arts Community host each show and manage The Tornado under direction and guidance of Mike Dudas, the Media Arts Coach! We integrate great music from the 60's to today with news and information from the community including elected officials, organization leaders, students, staff, and more!
