[Swprograms] WNYC celebrates its 80th anniversary

[Joel Rubin <jmrubin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

WNYC (streaming at wnyc.org, 820 kHz, 93.9 MHz) celebrates its 80th
anniversary beginning September 13. It will play old clips and,
October 20, there will be a series of readings of short stories about
radio and NYC by well-known performers.

This station, owned until 1999 by the City of New York (now a
non-profit foundation) was the station where Mayor La Guadia read the
comics to the children during a newspaper strike. The Oscar Brand Folk
Song Festival (10 P.M. GMT-5/-4 Saturdays on 820) has been on since
1945.
