“This has been an incredibly disappointing time for our local high schools and we thought this is the least we can do," FOX vice president of programming Keith Dakin said. "We are excited to air all of their speakers, their wind ensemble, their drama club as well as all the students names which hopefully we won’t mess up too bad.”

The graduation can be heard live on air, online at www.959thefox.com, or the 959 the FOX app.
