This past week, April 21 to 28, a little known but exciting part of radio’s landscape was celebrated – it was high school radio week. With multiple high school stations broadcasting across the country, Erica Farber, President & CEO of the RAB, connected with Ralph Martin, Music Education Coordinator for the Vacaville Christian School’s Radio Conservatory where for the last four years they have officially been broadcasting 24/7 KVCB, 100.9 FM in Vacaville, California, a town located about halfway between San Francisco and Sacramento.
In honor of this special occasion, the station had just come off a live 24 hour marathon inviting local bands and broadcast alumni alongside their current student broadcasters. As we think about the next generation of broadcasters, Ralph shares that “our kids are going to be OK.” It’s a positive outlook on the future of broadcasting and the future of our society in general.
