College Radio Day is an international event spotlighting college radio stations and diverse individuals. Following the theme “Where all the voices are welcome,” the event will take place on Oct. 6, starting at 10 a.m. NSU’s Mako Radio WKPX 88.5 FM Sunrise is ready to celebrate in the booth and around campus.
Mako Radio will have different segments, host guest artists like rapper and songwriter 2Rare, and play music related to the central theme inside the booth in Rosenthal room 140. As part of the event, there will be interactive spots for students to learn how to DJ and queue up music.
“College Radio Day is the voice of the students around the nation who are listening to music that may never have been heard,” said Station Manager Alex Hernández, junior double major in international studies and national security major.
Hernández added that College Radio Day will go over the history of music, college radio, Latin jazz and other forms of music from different backgrounds.
Mike Lynn, Mako Media assistant director, explained how this event is important for more than just NSU.
“College radio gives a chance for students to share what they feel is important,” Lynn said. “And up-and-coming artists share their different ideas about each annual topic and share a unified experience, gaining the airwaves across the country for one day.”
Hernández hopes this event helps students get more involved with Mako Radio.
“College Radio Day is a great opportunity for students to get plugged in with the community and plugged in with the local music scene,” Hernández said. “Some of the best music started on college radio and this is a chance to showcase that.”
