Friday, October 6, 2023 is the 13th World College Radio Day.

Conceived of by Rob Quicke as a celebration of student radio, College Radio Day has grown over the years to include an international mix of stations, all honoring the day in their own unique ways. The event also includes a global marathon, featuring a variety of college radio stations. This year, the marathon begins on Friday, October 6 at midnight Eastern time with the Vox Populi out of Fiji. Every 30 to 60 minutes, a different station will pass the baton. Participants will be far flung, including stations from Argentina, Greece, Mexico, Malaysia, China, Ireland, Spain, the United States, and more.
