Each year the project has a Radio Request Extravaganza; this is a live all request radio show featuring the works of that year’s submissions to 60x60. Composers and their fans are encouraged to request the works that have been submitted. The goal is to promote as many works as possible without them being subject to a selection process. The Radio Request Extravaganzas has promoted and played over 750 works from more than 500 composers hosted by new music radio shows including: Afternoon New Music, WKCR; Foldover, WOBC; Kalvos and Damian’s New Music Bazaar, WGDR; Martian Gardens, WMUA; and The Sculpted Word, WBAR.
