“We are very excited that the Northeast Regional Director for College Radio Day selected us as New York’s headquarter station,” said Joe Manfredi, OWWR manager. “To prepare for this honor for October 2nd, we created a team that executed research through the Federal Communications Commission to identify licensed educational radio stations, and our student-staff reached out to the fellow New York stations to educate and register them for the movement.”
