"Pop-Up" Radio Station To Broadcast 120 Hrs. As Fundraising Attempt

It's called WVYL and it will only exist for five short days - all of them online. It's an attempt to raise funds for U.S. college radio and will feature music and shows from various struggling campus stations for its 120 hour existence. And here's another gimmick - it will play only vinyl. 

"The station, while streaming on Live365, will air one-hour programs from college, community, and commercial broadcasters around the world, alongside specialty and vinyl-focused content. The launch show will also feature broadcaster John “Records” Landecker, who will also receive the first-ever Vinylthon Legend Award during the broadcast."

At a time when campus stations in both Canada and the U.S. are struggling, whatever funds are raised will no doubt be a welcome relief. It will appear on the Live365 site starting at midnight on April 13th.
