SUN \u2018n FUN Radio Celebrates 25 years
Lakeland, Florida: Starting opening morning of the 45th annual SUN ‘n FUN International Fly-n & Expo, SUN ‘n FUN Radio returns to the air for its 25th year to once again share the excitement and variety of this world-renowned event. As they’ve done every year since 1995, SUN ‘n FUN Radio’s crew of near 60 volunteers produce their distinctive event coverage of the SUN ‘n FUN Fly-In.
SUN ‘n FUN Radio’s programming delivers live interviews with airshow performers, aviation industry icons, notable visitors, and live remotes from special events held across the show grounds. Programming begins every day at 7 a.m. with live programming until the end of each evening’s events. When the live programming concludes, the station replays programming from earlier in the day.
SUN ‘n FUN Radio broadcasts from the Radio Deck on Clubhouse Path. The throngs who fill the SUN ‘n FUN grounds can hear the programming at 1510 AM – or stream the audio on the internet via the live feed provided on www.LiveATC.net/snf.

Once again this year, SUN ‘n FUN Radio will showcase an array of general aviation podcasts including two live sessions with the popular crew of Uncontrolled Airspace (UCAP) as they celebrate their 13th year of award-winning podcasting. On the evening of opening day, April 2nd, – right after the daily air show performance ends – the UCAP crew will broadcast and stream live from the station’s outdoor deck.
