- Next-Gen Engineers: Rachel Haggerty of iHeartRadio
Radio World is proud to introduce a new series of stories that profile the next generation of radio and broadcast engineers. “Next-Gen Engineers” looks to raise awareness of the broadcast engineering profession for young people, shine a light on the new talent entering the workforce and hear fresh takes on the future of the industry. Have an engineer to nominate for this series? Email us at radioworld@futurenet.com. Rachel Haggerty, during her apprenticeship in 2019 with the NAB, soldering cables for the first time. For Rachel Haggerty, radio engineering is quickly becoming a lifelong passion. Haggerty is a regional engineer for iHeartRadio in New York City. At age 29, she helps oversee seven stations — five FM and two AM signals. That includes heritage stations like 100.3 WHTZ(FM) “Z-100” and 106.7 WLTW(FM) “Lite FM.” “I truly enjoy what I do and can’t picture myself doing anything else,” Haggerty told Radio World. It all began with her college radio days with WSOU(FM) at Seton Hall University in South Orange, N.J. Then, upon graduation, Haggerty kickstarted her career with the help of the National Association of Broadcasters’ Technology Apprenticeship Program. “I’m very fortunate to still be working with most of the engineers I met during my apprenticeship,” she said. We caught up with Haggerty via email to learn more about her college radio days, as well as her passion for the industry and future aspirations. Radio World: How did you get interested in radio? Where did you get your start? Rachel Haggerty: Growing up, I always remember listening to the radio in the car, and my dad had a radio in his shed that was always on. As a kid, I would call in and make requests and try to win ticket giveaways. When I got to college and I found out I could be a part of that [with student-run WSOU], it was a no brainer. I got more and more involved and asked our engineer a lot of questions. Haggerty shown on-campus at Seton Hall University with the WSOU radio tower in the background. When graduation was approaching, my general manager recommended a program the National Association of Broadcasters was running called the Technology Apprenticeship Program. TAP gave me the tools to start my post-college career. We started at the NAB Show in Las Vegas where we attended sessions, networked with radio and TV engineers and toured a local… [TheTopNews] Read More.1 day ago - A Trump Judge Called Mail-In Ballots a Threat to Democracy
On Wednesday, the conservative Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals overturned a ruling blocking key measures of Texas’ sweeping voter suppression law, SB 1. A lower court previously ruled that the law, which effectively made it harder for people to vote with assistance, violated disability civil rights laws. It also created more barriers to voting by mail. “It has long been established that mail-in ballots are prone to fraud,” Judge Andrew Oldham wrote, according to Democracy Docket. “That is why voting by mail jeopardizes election integrity and democracy itself.” There is no evidence that mail-in ballots are “prone to fraud.” An analysis from the Brookings Institution found an “average total mail voting fraud percentage across the 2016, 2018, 2020, and 2022 general elections of only 0.000043 [percent].” Or, about 4 votes per 10 million votes. Mail-in voting can be very important for disabled and aging people, who otherwise may have to deal with accessibility challenges with getting to the polls and access issues when voting itself. One of the plaintiffs of the initial lawsuit, La Union del Pueblo Entero v. Abbott, filed in 2021, is the historically Black sorority Delta Sigma Theta. One of its members, Candace Wicks told me in 2024 that she was frustrated about the barriers disabled people faced while voting since SB. 1. Disabled people, Wicks said, “face barriers every day in terms of discrimination in our daily lives.” SB1, which she sees as a form of disenfranchisement, is to her just one example. “We need to make our democracy accessible to everybody, regardless of our ability,” she said. Research from the Brennan Center found that SB 1 in Texas had devastating impacts when many of its provisions in effect. A 2025 research paper found that thousands of Texans, disproportionately people of color, had their ballots rejected in the 2022 primary due to SB. 1. People whose ballots were rejected were less likely to vote in the 2022 general election in November and also were less likely to vote in 2024. Wednesday’s ruling could impact turnout for the 2026 Texas Senate race, where Democrat James Talarico has a shot at flipping that Texas Senate seat Blue in a contest against Republican Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton.
