WKNC launches new website

The WKNC.org homepage in 2015, featuring a Local Band Local Beer ad, news stories, concerts and the airplay playlist.

WKNC 88.1 FM today announced the launch of its newly designed website, wknc.org. This effort is the first major overhaul of the website since 2007 and features a modular, mobile-responsive design.

Along with the new look is a new online WKNC history exhibit that follows the station from its origins as WLAC-AM in 1922 to its present multi-media operation.

The project, modeled after the University of Maryland Libraries’ “Saving College Radio: WMUC Past Present and Future” digital exhibit, features images and stories throughout the history of N.C. State student radio, including a listing of each student general manager.

More than 6,000 users visit WKNC.org each month and the online playlist is the most viewed section of the website.
