RSU Radio and the Student Broadcasting Association presented Chillout 2020 virtually this year. Concertgoers who missed seeing live music were excited to see sets from three unique artists â all from their couch.
The communications students planned, shot and produced the event, which brought more than 200 viewers in the first night and nearly 500 in the first four days.
âWe picked a sleepover theme to match dead week and to give all the viewers a calming, pleasing aesthetic experience,â Caleb Broeker, a freshman from Glenpool, OK, said. âThe was a perfect fit for the series as the community watched the concert from home in their pajamas.â
