Radio Mitchell recently won the Spirit of College Radio Awards 2024, ranked #5 best college radio station globally by the organizers of World College Radio Day. One of 10 winners out of hundreds of stations that participated in the outreach event of the College Radio Foundation, they were chosen as embodying “the passion and mission of college radio.” The College Radio Foundation supports student radio including online, cable, carrier current, and FM and AM outlets.
According to sophomore Joshua “Jay” Bar-Nadav, president of operations for Radio Mitchell, the Radio Mitchell team used project management skills and business strategies learned in their business management courses at Mitchell. The team worked extensively on downloading thousands of songs and promoting and marketing the event through social media, flyers, and mass emails.
“The award highlights our hard work and dedication to the brand, business, and radio,” he said.
College Radio Day was founded in 2010 to “harness the combined listenership of hundreds of thousands of radio listeners throughout the world and to celebrate the important contribution of college radio by uniting for this one day,” according to the organization’s website collegeradio.org.
Radio Mitchell has also been featured in The Day newspaper and in an article by Gretchen A. Peck, an E&P Editor and Publisher journalist, titled “Broadcasting Beyond Boundaries.”
