International Women's Day is on Friday, March 8, and the KOOL FM crew is celebrating it over the airwaves.
Every year, International Women's Day celebrates female achievement, raises awareness for bias, and promotes action for equality.
The theme for International Women's Day 2025, #AccelerateAction, is a powerful call to speed up progress toward gender equality. With current projections estimating over a century to reach full parity, this theme emphasizes the urgency of breaking down barriers, challenging bias, and supporting initiatives that uplift women and girls. By taking bold, collective steps—whether through advocacy, policy changes, or direct support—we can drive meaningful change faster. #AccelerateAction is not just a message; it's a movement to ensure a more equitable future starts now.
On International Women's Day, KOOL FM will ONLY be playing songs by female artists to honour the special occasion. That means an entire 24 hours filled with classics and new hits by women!
KOOL FM's drive host, Amy Aust, says the initiative is a great way to highlight the day.
"We'll be featuring an all-female line-up with some artists that might not be in regular rotation to give you that 'I remember her! I love this song!' moment as we celebrate women's musical contributions all day long for International Women's day," said Aust.
KOOL FM Celebrates Women Every Year
The initiative started back in 2021. Matt Cacchione, the station's Brand Manager, says the station got a lot of great feedback from listeners and the community. In response, KOOL FM has made their all-female line-up an annual event.
"Playing a 100% female playlist for 24 hours on International Women’s Day is a great way to celebrate women, create more awareness of what the day is all about within our community and hopefully contribute towards the conversation of gender equality even further in our country," said Cacchione.
"Our listeners are in for a few surprises too along the way. They’ll hear some gems they probably haven’t heard in a while."
This March 8, join Kool FM in honouring the incredible women in our lives and all over the world. The ones that raised us, taught us, fought for us, and showed us the importance of gender equality.
You can listen on the radio at 107.5 FM or listen right from your computer!

Check out KOOL FM and listen to female artists all day long, on Friday, March 8.
