It's time for College Radio Day, October 2 , 2012

It's time to raise awareness of the college and high school radio stations across North America.

It's time to start tuning in and fighting back against the corporate takeover of radio.

It's time to support creative programming and truly independent content and music you can't find anywhere 
else.

It's time to start giving back to the stations that help break the bands you love.

Come on! Give it the old college try! It's time we all come together.

It's time for College Radio Day
