Welcome to our always-controversial college radio music director forum. Volunteers acting up? Digital submissions? Bullying? No topic is off limits as past and present music directors tell all. Bring questions.

How the pros discover new artists and music. Preceded by a conversation with with Extreme Music CEO Russell Emanuel and MTV's Nic Harcourt. Known as the “bad boys of the industry,” Extreme has been breaking boundaries in the production world since its launch in 1997. Their catalogue includes such A-listers as Quincy Jones, Hans Zimmer, Snoop Dogg, Timbaland, Rodney Jerkins and Xzibit, who partnered with Extreme in creating the first music videos ever filmed for production music tracks (and later got picked up on MTV). In addition to groundbreaking work with top-tier talent, they’ve also recently developed Hype Music, a partnership with MTV that develops unsigned talent to create tracks that get first look consideration for placement on MTV’s programs and exposure to Extreme’s music supervisor library.  Tracks from artists signed to Hype also get digital distribution to consumers via MTV, and artists get a 50/50 split, all without limiting them from continuing to look for label deals.

Featuring performances by Clubfeet, Bleeding Knees, WIM and the Grates

How digitally servicing new releases is impacting college radio.

It’s all over the news: Our college stations are in peril. But those on the front lines can help. Learn about the current state of college radio, how to best win university support and what to do if your station is threatened.

Do you have what it takes to be CMJ’s Station Of The Year? We’ll be presenting the 2011 College Radio Awards to college radio’s shining stars at this hootin’ ‘n’ hollerin’ ceremony. See this year’s nominees here. Limited edition awards will be furnished by our friends at Print Mafia. And back again for 2011, the day’s to-die-for drawing: one college radio programmer will win a trip to Perth, Western Australia, to participate in the WAMi Festival in May 2012, courtesy of Stage And Screen Travel Services, WAM and Sounds Australia. The winner will be drawn during the 2011 College Radio Awards. You must be present to win. Check out the WAMis Festival in CMJ’s own words here.

After gettin’ your learn on at College Day, it’s time to relax with fellow radio cohorts. College radio message board and all-around station resource Medium Rotation is proud to present the official College Day afterparty. The shindig ends 8 p.m. so you can catch all of the evening’s shows.
