‘Uniting People Under A Groove’
• Truer words were never spoken… across America and around the world, over 150 radio stations are preparing to celebrate that unique and beloved format of vinyl records by going vinyl-only on the air for Vinylthon 2024, happening April 20 & 21.
Organized by the non-profit College Radio Foundation and open to all radio stations, commercial and non-comm, Vinylthon is an industry-wide fundraiser supporting vital Next Step Radio Scholarships for students who aspire to become professional radio broadcasters. Radio stations can register for the event here.
“This year’s two-day Vinylthon event continues to build upon the traditions of the past eight years,” said Dr. Tim Craig, a board member of the College Radio Foundation, who organizes the event.
“We welcome student, community, and commercial radio stations from around the world to join us and celebrate the unique magic that playing records brings: uniting people under a groove.”
Participating stations that broadcast at least 24 hours of vinyl during the event will be presented with the prestigious “Golden Slipmat Award” to recognize their deep passion for vinyl. The award is a pair of golden slipmats made by official sponsor Glowtronics, exclusively for the event. See the growing list of participating radio stations here.
