Instructor Piotrowski comments on WAYN and the future of college radio...

Metro Times, 8/24
"What next for college radio?"
by Benjamin M. Solis
Kevin Piotrowski, faculty adviser to Wayne State University's WAYN student radio station, commented extensively in a piece about the future of college radio. As the listener base for college radio stations has declined over the years, Piotrowski says the answer is digital, and social media platforms, as a means of promoting radio programs. Four years ago, he oversaw the revival of WAYN which was limited to a very low over-the-air frequency. Now WAYN streams exclusively online, which is emerging as a standard for many college radio stations. For those students actually taking broadcast classes, using social media is not something instructors mandate, Piotrowski explains, but he calls such promotion essential for a student's success.
