EC Radio

Do you love EC Radio but wish that you could bring it on the road like a traditional radio station? Well, now you can! All you have to do is search your smartphone’s app store for the “TuneIn” app, and download it for free! When you have the app, look for EC Radio under the “college” section and under the “Massachusetts” sub-section. Thanks to Backbone Networks and the TuneIn radio system, you can listen to EC Radio anywhere in the world using your iPhone, Blackberry, Android phone, iPad, or anything else that can connect to the internet and run apps! Now you can truly tune in 24/7 for the best local music New England has to offer and the creativity of Emmanuel College’s world-class DJs!

Thanks again to everyone who listened in on Wednesday night to the very first broadcast of our special report “Growing Pains: The Emmanuel Community’s Experience in a Time of Expansion.” We have gotten some very positive feedback so far, and the conversation in the 30 minutes after the broadcast was productive and meaningful. For anyone who was unable to listen in to the premiere broadcast, the program will be replayed on EC Radio every night at 8 PM beginning Friday, March 2 until Sunday, March 11. Additionally, the program can be downloaded by clicking the link below. Please spread the word on to your friends, as EC Radio advocates the spread of information and awareness throughout the Emmanuel community on issues like these that affect people directly. Thank you, and enjoy!

With rapid growth and new construction occurring at Emmanuel College over the past few years, some members of the Emmanuel Community have felt disoriented, confused, or even disenfranchised. For the first time ever, EC Radio takes you behind the scenes of the process that has been taking place, and collects the experiences of student, faculty, staff, and administrator members of Emmanuel’s community. Hear not only the perspectives of students involved with performing arts, but also the administrators who have made the decisions throughout the construction process. 

This program will premiere on EC Radio Wednesday, February 29th at 8:30 PM. Starting February 2, the program will be rebroadcast every night at 8PM over March Break. It will also be available for download on this website shortly after its premiere.

Thanks to technological innovation on behalf of our broadcasting provider, Backbone Radio, we now have the ability to see where in the world people are tuning in to listen to EC Radio! Below is posted a link for a map of where people have been listening to EC Radio over the last 30 days. Just as a word of caution, the map has been known to make certain browsers on slower internet connections crash, so make sure to give it a minute to load. Enjoy!

Hey guys. Unfortunately we have been experiencing some technical difficulties over the past few hours, and we are unsure when we will able to resume broadcasting our DJs’ fantastic live programs. Hopefully we will be up and running at some point later today, so keep checking back here at ecradio.org for news concerning this situation.

In happier news, thank you to everyone who has signed up for a show so far and broadcasted over the last two weeks, you guys have been fantastic! If anyone is still interested in having a weekly show on EC Radio, many great time slots are still available! Click here to find out more about being a DJ and to sign up for a show, we promise that it is worth it!

Congratulations EC Radio on being voted Third Place in the Boston Globe’s reader’s poll! This is pretty exciting considering that we only started out about a year ago and that we were only beaten out by Emerson and Tufts which are both very well-established and large college stations.  Thanks again to everyone who helped out this year with all the shows, concerts, and events that we put on, you guys are what makes us special! We’ll be back on air with our totally new broadcasting system (which you can use through iTunes) in September once we get back, and we have some pretty exciting events planned in the first month so make sure to check back soon!

Thanks again to all of our DJs, staff, and listeners for an amazing first year back on air! There were a few rough patches throughout the year, but we all learned a lot and are very excited for what next year will bring. Stay tuned for some very exciting news coming up regarding EC Radio, local music, and events across campus. Broadcasting will resume in the first week of September when students move back in to campus, so until then have a fantastic summer!

The staff and members of EC Radio extend their deepest sympathies and prayers to the people of Japan who have suffered in the earthquakes and tsunami that have occurred over the past 24 hours. If you would like to help the ongoing relief efforts for the disasters of unprecedented proportions, here are a few initial ways that you can help:

Shelterbox:  International organization that creates and distributes emergency survival kits and tents to victims of disaster zones. http://www.shelterbox.org/

Red Cross: Has not set up a page as of this posting specifically for the Japanese disaster, but should within a few hours so check back soon.

www.redcross.org

EC Radio will be working with other clubs and organizations to do what we can to help with the relief and clean-up efforts of this international tragedy, so check back at www.ecradio.org for updates on ways that you can help. If you are a student at Emmanuel College, please join the staff of EC Radio and other clubs and organizations Monday, March 21 at 7:00 PM in the upstairs of the Jean Yawkey Center for an informal discussion about ways that the student organizations of Emmanuel can help.
