What is Rock-A-Thon?

2/10/2016

0 Comments

 
Rock-A-Thon started as 24-hour long fundraiser broadcasting solely on the radio in 1982.  After five years of successful fundraising, WLTL expanded Rock-A-Thon to 88.1 hours in 1987.  The next big addition to Rock-A-Thon came in 2005 when LTTV, Lyons Township High School’s cable outlet, began broadcasting Rock-A-Thon on television as well.  Over the course of its history, Rock-A-Thon has raised more than $200,000 from the community, and in the past has used the funds for the following projects:

  • Built Brand-New studios at South Campus for Radio/TV Arts classes
  • Replaced outdated transmitter equipment to improve sound quality
  • Created a third production room to increase student involvement
  • Built additional editing suites and purchased state of the art digital on-air equipment

Help us make Rock-A-Thon 2016 even better this year! The time to completely replace our broadcast antenna has come.  With funds raised through this year’s Rock-A-Thon, WLTL will begin the process of replacing our 20-plus-year-old antenna with a new state of the art system. 

We also hope to continue improving our South Campus facilities and increase student opportunities at both campuses by starting a brand new News/Talk/Sports streaming only station to be housed on www.wltl.net.
