(LINCROFT, NJ) -- Brookdale Public Radio 90.5 The Night will participate in the fifth annual Public Radio Music Day on October 23, 2024. The day brings together noncommercial public radio stations, artists, and fans to recognize public radio's essential community service and unique role in the music industry locally and nationally. 90.5 The Night will honor the occasion online and on-air by celebrating the music from New Jersey communities all day long.
On the decision to participate, Tom Brennan, manager of the radio station, said, “I’m so excited that Brookdale Public Radio will be a part of this effort from around the country to spotlight some of the work local stations are doing in their communities.”
Each week, nearly 24 million listeners tune in to hundreds of local public radio music stations like 90.5 The Night across America to discover, learn, and enjoy a mix of music selections, artists, and genres that are only available on public radio. This year's theme – Bringing People Together: From Coast to Coast – highlights how public radio music bridges divides, unites communities around a shared love of music and local artists, and reaches across the country to serve urban and rural communities alike.
90.5 The Night is proud to be a part of Public Radio Music Day and will continue engaging music fans, artists, and musicians through on-air, studio sessions, fan and artist stories, special programming and curated playlists. On October 23, 90.5 The Night will join stations across the country in hosting special broadcast and programming to connect their community with local musicians and artists; school music programs; and advocate for the continued support of public radio music stations.
Public Radio Music Day is hosted by the noncomMUSIC Alliance and its partners. The noncomMUSIC Alliance celebrates nonprofit, local public radio’s role in connecting artists with the communities who enjoy and support their music. Established in 2018, the Alliance currently has more than 200 partner public radio music stations, all locally owned and operated, yet united by their shared values of music discovery, curation, preservation, performance, and community.
This year, the Alliance of Rural Public Media, an alliance dedicated to informing lawmakers and audiences about the critical work of rural public radio stations across the country, is a partner in celebrating Public Radio Music Day.
