Well, I’m back from my travels and am full of even more college radio wisdom thanks to both the College Broadcasters Inc. (CBI) conference and my numerous radio station tours. I’ll be recapping my trip to the CBI conference for Radio World in a forthcoming issue and will also share some tidbits from the event […]
I’m having a great time immersing myself in all things college radio while in Philadelphia this week for the College Broadcasters Inc. conference.

It’s hard to believe that his weekend marks the 15th anniversary of the September 11 terrorist attacks in the United States. Although I was far away in California, I’ll never forget waking up to the news and then spending the day glued to television reports of the horrific scenes in New York City, Pennsylvania and […]
Wow. What a week. It’s only September 2 and the new school year is already packed with college radio news.
