Written by Mason Baker, WKNC Promotions Director

On Friday, Oct. 4, WKNC is set to host the fourth annual 24-hour celebration of World College Radio Day. 

Starting in 2012, over 600 colleges across the globe have participated in the annual World College Radio Day. October 4th will mark the fourth year WKNC has participated in the festivities, boasting 24 hours of non-stop DJ sets on our HD-1 and HD-2 channels, with a healthy assortment of entertainment on our Production Room livestreams.

WKNC will kick off the day on HD-1 with our electronic and pop block Afterhours and rap and R&B block Underground from 12 a.m. to 6 a.m. Afterwards is our indie rock block Daytime from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. rounded out by our metal Chainsaw block from 6 p.m. to 12 a.m. Additionally, our HD-2 schedule is chock full of music of all genres, including a smattering of sets from our newly trained DJs.

In addition to the live broadcast, WKNC will host a 24-hour livestream on both YouTube and Twitch. During the stream, you can catch such exhilarating activities as WKNC Are You Smarter Than A Fifth Grader, LEGO building, PowerPoint presentations, detective work and many more.

“I’m so excited for World College Radio Day this year! This is going to be the fourth year in a row we have celebrated it, and each year it’s only gotten better,” said Rose Kelly, WKNC’s current general manager. “It’s such an incredible way to connect with other DJs, and I know everyone is looking forward to it so much!”
