College Radio Day

The aim of College Radio Day is to raise a greater, national awareness of the many college radio stations that operate in the US and the world by encouraging people who would not normally listen to college radio to do so on this day.

It is hoped that those people who do tune in like what they hear and become regular listeners. The organizers of College Radio Day believe that college radio is one of the last remaining bastions of creative radio programming, free from the constrictions of having to be commercially viable, and a place where those involved in its programming believe passionately in its mission.

Now in the ninth year, this year's theme is "Hear it Here First."
