Last year we really made a splash with our National Radio Day campaign to
build awareness about community radio and about new low power FM stations.
This year August 20th falls on a Saturday - a perfect day for an event in
your community!

- 55 noncommercial radio stations and 35 cities across North America
participated.
- The #NationalRadioDay hashtag was trending all day on Twitter with 22,000
tweets. The year before we did
   anything had a handful of tweets and most of them were about a National
Radio Day in another country.
- Instagram saw 3000 posts tagged #NationalRadioDay.

It’s a great date peg for pitching local media about your station’s
mission. Here’s how the Seattle Times and our NBC affiliate covered what we
did locally - an LPFM that isn’t on the air yet streamed a youth led live
broadcast at our downtown public library.
