Full Summary:
Station will broadcast live and benefit from the Free Yr Radio fundraising program.
WREKWhether or not you plan to attend the Music Midtown festival taking place in Piedmont Park this weekend, you can support Georgia Tech’s student radio station simply by lending a few words to Twitter.
WREK 91.1 FM is partnering with Toyota Free Yr Radio, a project that supports independent radio stations across the country. WREK will broadcast live from Music Midtown on Friday from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. and Saturday from Noon to 8 p.m.; festival attendees can visit the Free Yr Radio Broadcast Stage on the southwest edge of the festival grounds.
The fundraising element comes from virtual support: Simply tweet a few words about independent radio and include the hashtag #ToyotaGiving. Every tweet through Saturday, Sept. 22, will yield a $2 donation to WREK, up to $2,000. Donations will also be made for Instagram photos that include the same hashtag.
WREK broadcasts at 91.1 FM or wrek.org.
