Rock-a-thon surpasses fundraising goal

Lyons Township High School’s radio station, WLTL 88.1, raised a grand total of $25,693 at its weekend Rock-a-thon. After months of planning and preparation, the broadcast kicked off at 5am February 12 and concluded at 9:06pm February 15, for a total of 88.1 continuous hours. LTTV also broadcasted and streamed video live over the internet and cable.

Pledges will help replace the 20+ year old antenna system, help defray the cost of renovating the studios at South Campus and launch a new News/Talk/Sports streaming station to be housed at on the radio website.

In addition to listening to Rock-a-thon at 88.1 FM, the station’s social media presence was in full swing with interactive features, including live Twitter feeds.
