WLOY gets mention in Radio World Magazine (again)
Thursday, October 1st, 2020 by The Professor
We love it when we get some press, especially in the likes of trade magazine Radio World. Professor Rob Quicke from William Paterson University wrote an article covering college radio station spring reactions and fall preparations for the COVID-19 pandemic in Radio World Magazine. WLOY gets a bit of coverage for both spring and fall and mention of our fantastic Quarantine Takeover show series. Yay us!

I Never Knew Host in the Jamaica Observer
Friday, May 8th, 2020 by The Professor
I Never Knew Radio host and I Never Knew TV host Linton “Junior” Hinds (’06) found himself featured in the Jamaica Observer for his documentary story on roots tonics in Jamaica. In addition to hosting his weekly radio show here on WLOY, Junior has a massive catalog of videos on the history of Rastafarianism, African Diaspora, Reggae and Jamaican culture all housed on his YouTube channel. With more than 10 million views, it’s easy to understand why The Observer picked up on his work. More and more people are finding and sharing his important stories and interviews with artists, philosophers, medical professionals and more. Do yourself a favor and check out both the radio show (every Sunday 9-11am) and the YouTube channel. We know you’ll find yourself saying “I Never Knew…” more than once!

“Word on the Street” Gets More Press
Tuesday, January 8th, 2013 by The Professor
We were pretty excited when the paper we support “Word on the Street” got a couple of recent mentions in the local press. We were more excited when Marc Steiner interviewed members of the paper on his show on WEAA. Now the paper has front page coverage in the Baltimore Sun! Rumor has it that NBC is interested as well! This is a great start to a new year! You can support Word on the Street too!

WLOY and Word on the Street Highlighted
Thursday, December 6th, 2012 by The Professor
Nothing like some bonus press for the work we do. After a mention in the Baltimore Sun and front page coverage in the great DC street paper Street Sense, we follow it up with a piece in Loyola Magazine. It’s always good to let the rest of the world know we do more than just spin some records now and then!
