World College Radio Day is this Friday, Oct. 1.
In honor of the event, WKNC will be hosting 24 straight hours of DJ sets on our HD-1 channel, as well as select sets on HD-2 and a YouTube live stream featuring various activities for the entire event. The 24 hours start at 12 a.m. on Friday and will go until 11:59 that night.
The HD-1 DJs will follow our (modified) traditional schedule of Afterhours/Underground from 12-7 a.m., then Daytime from 7 a.m.-7 p.m. (with Local Lunch still occurring at noon), and Chainsaw will go from 7-11:59 p.m. You can check the full HD-1 lineup schedule below.
HD-2 DJs have full reign to play whatever style they want, so, again, read below to see the full schedule.
The live stream will be hosted on our YouTube channel and will show our HD-1 studio, so you can watch all your favorite DJs play live, as well as our Production Room/HD-2, which will be hosting various activities throughout the night – which, if you guessed it, can also be found on our schedule below.
The live stream of the HD-1 Studio will have to be muted, as copyrighted music is not allowed on YouTube. However, you can listen to everything the DJs are playing in HD-1 by tuning into our webstream. Keep an eye on our Spinitron page as well, to catch all the songs the DJs are playing.
The full schedule of activities is below. Please keep in mind that this schedule is subject to change at the discretion of the DJs, and the best way to stay updated with the schedule is to check this blog post.
