Today is College Radio Day!
October 11th, 2011 by Amanda Nolan
Today is College Radio Day, and it has begun for more than 350 stations across the country. Founded by Rob Quicke and Peter Kreten, the goal of College Radio Day is to bring together the listenership of hundreds of thousands of college radio listeners as well as to celebrate the important contribution of college radio to America’s airwaves.
Additionally, College Radio Day, a not-for-profit organization, wants to raise a national awareness of the numerous college radio stations that operate by encouraging people who would not normally listen to college radio to do so on this day. Today, you can catch the Rich on the Radio Program from 3pm – 5PM; you can listen to Maggie from 6PM – 7PM; you can listen to some terrific tunes with Beauty and the Greek from 7PM – 8PM; you can rock out with Anthony Landi from 8PM – 9PM; and, finally, you can become a winner by listening to Billy Dries and his cohorts as they are giving away tickets to see Vertical Horizon at Baltimore Soundstage on 10/16!
It’s a day of celebration. It’s a day of live music and special interviews. It’s the day we all come together.

Is it possible?
October 10th, 2011 by Anthony Santiago
Is what possible? If any of you have been living under a rock and been completely oblivious to the sporting world, then you would know that College sports are beginning to shake up a little. Conferences such as the Big Ten, the Big Twelve, and the SEC are undergoing changes that all rely on the outcomes of different factors. With that in mind, some of you fans may not know exactly why we should be wasting our time reading (on my end, writing) on this subject? Read the rest of this entry »
