SoundTap Madness: Final Four

Friday, March 30th, 2012 // Events,News

Your favorite radio station has been duking it out with the finest non-commercial radio stations from around the world for the past two weeks in SoundTap’s Madness, a March Madness-style competition.

WRCT has been advancing round by round thanks to the support of loyal listeners. We’ve gotten into the final four and we need your help! Instead of listening to WRCT through our site, as normal, please listen through soundtap.com/madness. You will need to register and verify your account using your Facebook or a text message.

The site is a little funky. If it doesn’t load correctly for you, try a different browser. It also seems to disconnect randomly. You can listen as long as you like, but you need to click the “Yes I am listening button” every 60 minutes for your listening to count.

We appreciate your help in getting Pittsburgh’s little old WRCT to the top of this freeform competition! We love being the underdog and you, dear web listener, can make all the difference.

Please join our Facebook group for the most up-to-date information.
