WRMC featured on NPR website!
by WS-Test-Student on October 16, 2012
In some of the most exciting station news of the semester, WRMC is currently featured on the NPR music site for our help in curating their 2012 CMJ Preview Mix. Dylan Redford, our general manager, was approached earlier this fall about collaborating with other prominent college radio stations on this mix and brought the project to the station’s music directors (Carly Shumaker and Stephanie Roush) with much delight.
The music directors were asked to choose their favorite song of 25 artists from a list of about 100 artists that are all playing at the CMJ Festival this week (October 16-21) in New York City. CMJ represents the foremost opportunity in the college radio world to connect with other stations as well as the music industry as a whole.
This WRMC collaboration with NPR Music is a step forward for the station in terms of establishing WRMC as one of the best college radio stations in the country. Hopefully, this will help the station gain recognition not only among other college stations, but with music promoters and music labels alike. With NPR under our belt, who knows what could happen next.
