Having a live radio station provides students with a unique platform to develop essential skills in communication, teamwork, and media production. It fosters an environment of active academics, where students can engage in real-time discussions, share their perspectives, and connect with their peers and the community. Operating a live station also encourages creativity and critical thinking as students curate content and navigate the technical aspects of broadcasting. Ultimately, this hands-on experience cultivates extraordinary experiences that empower students to express themselves confidently and prepare for future careers in various media fields.
