We’re back! 
Greetings from Cleveland! DJs Todd Richards and Mary Cipriani will be back for yet another special broadcast day on Thursday May 13th, starting at 7am (USA Eastern timezone) and running non-stop for 18 straight hours. Is there a rare U2 song you’ve never heard before? Do you wish you could hear something other than the top 10 hits by U2 on the radio? Well, here’s your chance to listen to nothing but U2 all day and all night long!
If you've listened online to this broadcast event before, you already know what it's all about! If you haven't heard of us before....
WBWC is a commercial-free student-operated college radio station at Baldwin Wallace College in Berea, Ohio, and we have held these artist marathon events each Thursday in summer since 1981. We’re happy to announce that U2 will once again be featured in the Marathon lineup.
U2 has long credited college radio as being key for them building their early fan base in the USA in the early 1980s.
Check out this 1987 Grammy acceptance speech where Edge thanks “everybody in college radio, I don’t know where we’d be today without them” (at 1:45 mark)
YouTube - U2 Grammy's '87
And here’s Bono on Larry King Live talking about college radio! (at 4:35 mark)

This 18 hour event focuses exclusively on one band during the broadcast day, and will feature their entire catalog, including b-sides, live recordings, remixes and rare tracks. No song is too rare or obscure for us to play! Previous marathons have featured exclusive interviews with Willie Williams, Joe O'Herlihy, Rocko Reedy, Neil McCormick and others - tune in to hear this year's special guests! And we’ll have some cool prize giveaways too!
