Radio Day: WDSO to broadcast from CHS cafeteria

Back To Front Page

 

High school radio stations in the United States will come together for one day of celebration again this year on April 20. This will be the 5th Annual High School Radio Day.

Since there are so few high schools with radio stations, as in previous years organizers hope that High School Radio Day (HSRD) will raise a greater awareness of the high school stations that are broadcasting over-the-air and newer ones who are streaming online.

High School Radio Day was created after College Radio Day launched in 2011. Even though high school stations were able to register, organizers felt high school stations should have their own day. Pete Bowers, station manager at WBFH-FM in Bloomfield Hills was the High School Radio Day founder. Michigan scheduled the first HSRD in May, 2012.

Chesterton High School’s Radio Station, WDSO-FM 88.3, will participate in HSRD for the fourth year in a row on Wednesday, April 20. To celebrate this year, WDSO will start off the day by broadcasting live from the CHS Cafeteria from about 11 a.m.-1 p.m. The station will be giving away coupons for free pizzas from the Chesterton Pizza Hut to students during the four lunch periods.

Later in the day WDSO DJ’s will assemble at the Red Cup CafŽ & Deli in downtown Chesterton, at 115 Broadcast, from 3-5 p.m. for a remote broadcast from that location. There will be also be giveaways at the Red Cup. Winners must be present to win.

WDSO would appreciate everyone tuning in to the station on High School Radio Day and other days as well. The station broadcasts continuously seven days a week, 24 hours a day, so listen at any time day or night. Regular programming takes place between 6 a.m. and 4 p.m. daily.

Tune into WDSO-FM 88.3 or go to www. duneland.k12.in.us/wdso for Internet streaming. There will also be a High School Radio App available at the App Store for iPhones or Google Play for Android phones.
