WLOY Welcomes 2022 NSEMC to Baltimore

October 24th, 2022 by The Professor

WLOY is honored and thrilled to welcome the 2022 National Student Electronic Media Convention to Baltimore! After years of the conference roving around the country and just missing us, we finally captured it for 2020 and then… ugh. Thankfully we are hosting it live and in person for 2022! We welcome hundreds of college radio and TV students and advisors to Charm City October 26-29th. We’re doing our best to be great ambassadors for Baltimore with a 20 minute welcome to Charm City video created by Ben Ostrowski ’24 and voice by him and Hope Johnson ’23. We’ve roped in great local music from Skribe and James Von Lenz and arranged tours of M & T Bank Stadium and WBAL Radio/TV and more fun things. How about bringing a special edition of the Baltimore Record Bazaar into the hotel to let students from all over the country do a little crate digging! We’ll be sharing as much Baltimore as we can with our guests and linking videos and other info. As a bonus, we have 9 amazing WLOY alumni coming back to share their experiences in radio, TV, film, PR, digital content and entertainment law 🙂
