COLUMBIA — It's 11:58 a.m. on Sunday, Dec. 7. Steve Donofrio, a disc jockey at KOPN/89.5 FM, is perched in front of a sound board, headphones tousling his curly black hair. Through a large window with aqua trim, in an alley off the 900 block of Ninth Street, it looks like a sunny summer day, except for the visible breath of occasional passers-by.
