Travis Rowan, a.k.a. "Tre' Day, Everyday, All Day, Baby, Baby!!!"
Travis “Tre’ Day” Rowan began his radio career in 1996 right out of high school and straight into the pros. The name “Tre’ Day” was actually given to him by his basketball teammates after hitting 9 three-pointers in a single game. While a full-time student at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock, Tre’ worked his way up from an internship to a full-time position at KIPR (92.3FM). The Little Rock market embraced Tre’ very quickly and it reflected in the ratings. No matter what the air shift…Tre’ brought his time slots to #1 each and every time. Tre’ also brought his academic status to #1 of his graduating class with a 4.0GPA throughout college, earning the honor of Summa Cum Laude…an honor that Tre’ is most proud of.
Recently Tre' Day not only started his podcast, "The Tre' Day Show," but also was the recipient of his station receiving a Marconi Award, the highest honor in radio, as KIPR was recognized in 2019 as the medium market "Radio Station of the Year," by the National Broadcasters Association. Also, as the 2023 Taste of Little Rock Honoree, Tre' helped raise over $160,000 for student scholarships at UA-Little Rock! Past honors in the radio industry include Tre' Day being named, “One of the top 30 broadcasters in America, under 30 years old,” in the June 2008 edition of Radio & Records Magazine by the Edison Media Research group. He is the first & only Arkansasan ever to be recognized with this honor!
Tre’ knows radio programming well. Tre’ was the music and production assistant for two stations (KIPR & KOKY) from 1998-2002. Currently, Tre’ is the Assistant Program Director of Power 92 - Little Rock and the host of the #1 rated Afternoon Drive show in Arkansas…”Take it to the House,” which is now available for syndication. "Take it to the House," can be heard from anywhere in the world, from 2-6pm CST, by logging on to his website: www.TreDay.com/audio or by downloading the FREE Power 92 Jams app on your smartphone!
Tre' has recently endowed his longtime Scholarship Project at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock as well, with over $75,000!!! The money is raised on Labor Day Weekend with Tre's award winning "TreDay.com Charity Classic," which consists of a tennis tournament, a celebrity party & his locally famous silent auction. Scholarships target high school students in Arkansas looking to pursue a degree in Mass Communications. Tre' Day has also donated the equipment for two new audio production studios at UALR, which are now available for all students to use.
