The Intercollegiate Broadcasting System (IBS) has been near and dear to Simmons Radio for years. From the learning and networking opportunities provided for us at their yearly New York City conference to being recognized by their awards, IBS is an essential resource for student run radio stations.
We are always looking for more categories for our DJs to enter their highlights of the year. If you are interested in submitting email us at [email protected]
