On Oct. 6, NSU’s Mako Radio WKPX 88.5 FM celebrated College Radio Day with the theme “All Voices are Welcome.” College Radio Day is an international event that spotlights college radio stations. Mako Radio celebrated the event over the air on 88.5 FM and in person outside the Rosenthal Building, taking song requests from students and hosting diverse music-related activities.
“College Radio Day is an event where all college radio stations across the country unite over a central theme and raise awareness about what it means to be a college radio station,” said Mike Lynn, assistant director of Mako Media Network. “[We share] the content that we play, the diversity we have, and the community we have built.”

Mako Radio played music on 88.5 FM from 11 a.m. through 8 p.m. It also had hourly talk-show segments hosted by Mako Radio DJs and guests, including Eric Mason, associate professor in the Department of Communication, Media, and the Arts.
The in-person festivities included a game where attendees tested their music knowledge by guessing artists from graphics related to specific artists.
The event also provided a forum for music discussions. Students shared their favorite genres, artists and memorable concert experiences. These conversations showed many musical perspectives, creating an environment where students could discover new sounds and meet people with similar music tastes.
