Vinylthon 2022 – Saturday April 23



It’s time to celebrate what you can do with some metal presses and 180gm of vinyl. VINYLTHON is here for 2022! We’re celebrating Record Store Day with 24 hours of nothing but vinyl on the air at WLOY*. As a bonus this year as pandemic rules reduce we will have some live shows sneaking in again – Earl Crown will be spinning a live show 5-7pm and our music director Anna will be doing her FIRST SHOW and it’s all vinyl! who knows who else will join in throughout the day. Maybe even The Professor!

Battle of the Bands TONIGHT!

Battle of the Bands TONIGHT!

See everyone in McGuire Hall tonight 8-10pm for Battle of the Bands! We have 3 great student bands competing: Folding chairS, Panic at the Fine Arts Department and Crown Me King! And, as always we have a selection of industry folks as judges because it wouldn’t be fair if we judged it! What kind of folks are judging you ask? We are glad you did because we’ll tell you it’s all about getting pros who can help the bands grow. So here are the 2022 Battle of the Bands judges:

Classic WLOY Promo Video Unearthed!

Classic WLOY Promo Video Unearthed!

Once upon a time Phil had an idea to make a video… And that video quickly got silly. We had it posted on YouTube but it was taken down because of the music bed. We thought it was lost but years of scouring bins of old hard drives has finally brought it back in all its glory. Revel in our music staff learning about vinyl, the sales team making stacks, Brandon’s secret love of Rick Astley and our amazing 2003 Ford Aerostar!

College Radio Unites For Ukraine

College Radio Unites For Ukraine

College radio stations around the world united to send messages of hope and support to the college radio stations in the Ukraine. More than 50 stations recorded and sent messages and WLOY was proud to join in. We were all even more excited to hear the students in college radio throughout the Ukraine respond with messages of their own. Scroll down to hear the entire compiled group of messages, see the full list of contributing stations and order a t-shirt to show your support and help raise funds for those stations literally under fire in the Ukraine.
