It's in its fifth year and highlights Township athletes, students, coaches, schools, teachers, and administrators, who are all interviewed by skilled, professional-sounding staff members.

WRFT has participated in and sponsored major radio promotions, exactly like commercial stations. The station schedules and programs concerts, Halloween parties, dances, Holiday events, and other promotional tools designed to teach concepts of broadcasting to its staff, and to reach its audience. We promote Franklin Central athletics, and present play-by-play of football, volleyball, and basketball games.

Achievements

In addition, WRFT has given its student staff members tremendous and valuable experiences. Various staff members have been invited to appear at the Indy 500 track to interview track personnel, car owners, and drivers. Two years ago, WRFT covered the national election. Student reporters were stationed at both party headquarters and called in regular updated election results which were aired. During the week prior to Super Bowl XLVI, former staff members, Ellyn Fritz, Wesley Joy, Clayton Young and Christopher Lanning were invited to take part in interviewing staff, players, coaches and other professional broadcasters at Super Bowl XLVI Media Day on January 31, 2012.

Active in the community, responsive to the community's needs, and a vibrant, pro-active medium, WRFT continues to break new ground. WRFT streams football and volleyball audio play-by-play that are available world-wide. For the second time in four years, WRFT was judged by its peers to be the best high school radio station in the state of Indiana in the spring of 2011. That's a compliment to the exceptional students serving as staff and management. The award was a culmination of excellent writing skills, creative performances, and exceptional on-air presentations.
