Educational Dance Choice
A new service of the Dance Radio Network
Educational Dance Choice, or EDC as we call it, is a syndicated service for campus radio stations. EDC is the just the thing for non-profit stations on a budget. Affiliates can use EDC whenever... overnights, weekends, spring break, or all the time. The channel is the perfect solution to staffing your station and making it 'pop'.
EDC is a unique blend of music with a pulse. The songs are all 'radio friendly'... a hit with the owners of any campus radio station. This channel offers a fusion of today’s popular music remixed to a dance beat hitting home with the university demographic. Only new music is showcased here. An occasional oldies dance song on this channel would date no further than the 1990s. Our network imaging and disc jockeys are uniquely packaged for today’s college sound. There are no commercials – only periodic public service announcements and short educational features. Educational Dance Choice is the network that doesn’t sound like a network.
PSA Sunday: May is Foster Care Month
Each May, National Foster Care Month provides an opportunity to shine a light on the plight of hundreds of thousands of children and youth in the foster care system. The campaign raises awareness about the urgent needs of these young people and encourages citizens from every walk of life to get involved.
Through the dedication of advocates, child welfare professionals, elected officials and support groups around the country, the total number of children waiting for a safe and permanent family has decreased from more than a half million to 463,000 between 2003 and the end of 2008. These numbers tell us that, together, we can make a difference for children in foster care. 12,476 children previously featured on AdoptUsKids now live with
permanent families!

PSA Sunday: Clean Air Month
Energy EfficiencySponsor Organization: U.S. Department of Energy
Campaign Website:
loseyourexcuse.govEnergy use is on the rise around the world. By 2030, global energy demand is expected to increase 50 percent above 2005 levels, with electricity demand alone in the U.S projected to rise 29 percent over the same period. Increasing demand requires additional supplies to keep costs low, ensure reliability, and reduce America’s dependence on foreign energy sources. At the same time, this growing demand must be addressed in the context of global climate change. Consumers can make a significant difference on all these fronts by reducing demand through simple energy efficiency measures. For example, households that install energy-saving bulbs can cut energy used for lighting by more than 80 percent.
In a national survey of kids ages 8-12, 85 percent of respondents believed that they could lead their family to do what is needed to consume less energy in the home. The U.S. Department of Energy and the Ad Council have partnered together to launch a new kid-targeted campaign entitled “What’s Your Excuse?” highlighting the simplicity of making energy efficient changes in the home and asking kids to join millions of others to make a difference by using their energy wisely.

PSA Sunday: Emergency Preparedness
Emergency Preparedness (May is Hurricane Preparedness Month)Sponsor Organization: Federal Emergency Management Agency
Campaign websites:
ready.govVolunteer Agency: Cramer-Krasselt and Elevacion, Ltd.
91% of Americans believe it’s important to be prepared for emergencies. However, only 58% of households report having taken any steps at all to prepare. In order to encourage more Americans to prepare themselves, their families and their communities, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has sponsored public service advertisements (PSAs) that educate and empower Americans to prepare for and respond to all kinds of emergencies.
Launched in February 2003, the Ready Campaign asks individuals to do three key things to prepare for the unexpected: 1) get an emergency supply kit, 2) make a family emergency plan, and 3) be informed about the different types of emergencies that could occur and their appropriate responses.
