Programming

Lasell College Radio began operation in the fall of 2004. Our programming is chosen and produced by the students and is aimed to serve Lasell College students, employees, families and friends with relevant information and entertainment that reflects the needs of academia and community.

In addition to our music programming, we report daily news briefs every hour to inform the college of local news, weather, campus events and sports. Lasell College Radio's format emphasizes diversity with a variety of musical formats ranging from Radio 200, Loud Rock and Hip Hop/R&B and by original, open-format specialty shows throughout the weekend.

Since the station's launch, we have supported important charities through the development and airing of PSA's for organizations including Tsunami Relief Fund, Adopt a Highway, CHOICE, Make a Wish Foundation, Project Bread, SADD, Jimmy Fund, FEMA, MADD, Red Cross, as well as PSA's on recycling, underage drinking, Darfur, Alzheimer's disease, Asthma and Hurricane Katrina Relief. In March 2008 we held a charity concert that earned $930.00 for The Jimmy Fund. This event's success added to our mission of supporting local charities through radio-sponored events for the Lasell College community. Since fall 2005, LCR has been broadcasting Lasell College Sports. Since that time we have been broadcasting all home games for Lacrosse, Soccer, Volleyball, Basketball and Softball.

In addition to our radio programming and charity services, LCR prides itself on creating campus-based entertainment and opportunities for the student body to promote active campus activity and student involvement. In October 2005 we co-supported the Lily Holbrook Coffeehouse performance with the Campus Activities Board, which was the largest Coffeehouse turnout for its day. That same month we co-sponsored Lasell's largest turnout for a costume ball, Creeps N Ghouls -- which continues to draw record-breaking crowds every October. We now offer on-air time slots every Friday for various academic initiatives across the college campus.
