Happy High School Radio Day! Today marks the 6th Annual High School Radio Day and as I write this, 83 high school radio stations from 31 states plan to participate. I’m heartened that high school radio is going strong and hope that in 2017, I’ll be able to visit more high school radio stations. You may recall that last fall a new High School Radio Network launched, with live programs broadcast from high school radio stations all over the United States every Wednesday afternoon. Today’s show will air from KASB at Bellevue High School in Bellevue, Washington.
Have any favorite high school radio stations or do you do high school radio? I’d love to hear your stories in the comments. In the meantime, here are a few pieces that I’ve written about high school radio to get you into the spirit of the day:
