High School Radio Day
High school radio stations in the United States will come together for one day of celebration on April 22. This will be the fourth Annual High School Radio Day. Since there are so few high schools with radio stations, organizers hope that High School Radio Day (HSRD) will raise a greater awareness of the ones that are still 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. High School Radio Day founder, Pete Bowers, Station Manager at WBFH-FM in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan scheduled the first HSRD in May 2012 with the third one last April 23.
Chesterton High School radio station, WDSO-FM 88.3, will participate in HSRD for the third year in a row on April 22, 2015.
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 at Pizza Hut.
Later in the day WDSO DJ’s, Brooke Sauter and Riley Deardurff will assemble at the Dairy Queen Grill & Chill on Indian Boundary Road in Chesterton from 3-5 p.m. for a remote broadcast from that location. There will also be giveaways at the DQ. Winners must be present to win at the DQ.
WDSO would appreciate it if you would tune into 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 you can listen at any time day or night. Regular programming takes place between 6 am and 4 pm daily.
