CBI NSMC Overcoming the Rocky Steps

October 20th, 2026 by Allison Shulman

They said it couldn’t be done. They said the steps were too steep, the journey too long, the hoodie too heavy. But WLOY persevered. After an unforgettable weekend at the CBI (College Broadcaster, Inc) National Student Media Convention, we returned to training. Through countless hours of training, dedication and questionable decision-making, we made it to the top. While some may see a staircase, we see a symbol of everything college radio stands for: passion, perseverance and a mildly concerning commitment to the bit. We will see you next year at CBI NSMC in Ohio, back and better than ever.
