Through its outreach programs and events, most notably College Radio Day, the CRF raises the profile of college radio stations across the country and encourages increased student participation in the medium of college radio. The organizers of College Radio Day believe that college radio is one of the last remaining bastions of creative radio programming, free from the constrictions of having to be commercially viable, and a place where those involved in its programming believe passionately in its mission. College radio is the only free live medium brave enough to play unsigned, local, and independent artists on a regular basis. Indeed, many famous and successful bands today, owe their initial break to being played on college radio. Put simply, college radio is an important part of the media landscape because of its unique and fearless programming. facebook.com/collegeradioday @collegeradioday
