WOR Radio’s Shining Star Talent Search has often been used as an entertaining and educational class project, and it is a wonderful opportunity for talented students to show off their voices to WOR Radio listeners and music industry professionals.
Buckley Broadcasting Corporation, the parent of WOR, has long been an advocate of arts education in the tri-state area, and continues that commitment with this year’s competition, despite many other media companies having curtailed similar outreaches.
Jerry Crowley, Vice President and General Manager of WOR, said, “The response to our Shining Star Talent Search has always been overwhelming, and we are looking forward to hearing all of this year’s entries in the weeks ahead.”
