The Latest at WAMC
WAMC Northeast Public Radio is excited to announce the official launch of On the Road, a new programming initiative that brings live public radio events — including interviews, conversations, musical performances, and cultural programming — directly to communities throughout the listening region.
The White House issued an Executive Order directing the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) to halt all direct and indirect funding to NPR and PBS. In essence, this puts at risk WAMC’s ability to deliver national and international programming—Morning Edition, All Things Considered, and the trusted newscasts our listeners rely on every day.
