Student Media’s Radio X in the Department of Communication, Media, and the Arts will host College Radio Day on Friday, Oct. 7, from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. World College Radio Day seeks to raise a greater, international awareness of college and high school radio stations operating across the globe and celebrate the contributions of college radio by uniting listeners on the first Friday of October each year. This year’s theme is “Voices of Peace,” spotlighting how student radio seeks to champion justice and support sustainable peace for everyone.

“College Radio Day is a fun celebration of the most important aspects of college radio stations, such as our student DJs featuring new and underground songs from up-and-coming artists that you otherwise would not hear,” said Mike Lynn, assistant director of Student Media. “Throughout the day, our DJs utilize 7 additional hours of airtime – that they otherwise wouldn’t have – to feature NSU faculty, students and staff and discuss their opinions on music genres they enjoy in a roundtable discussion focused on an annual theme.”

Listeners can participate in College Radio Day by tuning in to Radio X on WKPX 88.5 FM or online at https://streamdb7web.securenetsystems.net/cirrusencore/RADIOX
