Hosted by Tom Roe in Acra, with contributions from many WGXC programmers.

On June 12 from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m., eight different amateur radio organizations will use four types of wireless communications technology representing five Hudson Valley counties at the Hudson Valley Radio Relay on Bannerman's Island in the Hudson River, and at other locations. WGXC's Tom Roe spoke with amateur radio enthusiast Steve Bossert and Bannerman Island's Neil Caplan about the event, and the island's history.

The WGXC Morning Show is a radio magazine show featuring local news, interviews with community leaders and personalities, reports on cultural issues, a rundown of public meetings and local and regional events, with weather updates, and more about and for the community, made mostly through volunteers in the community through WGXC. The Catskill Makers Syndicate produce the "Better Weather" for the show. Rob Gelles produces the Columbia County history segment "Rob Around The County" and "This Month in History" for the show. Julia Joern produced the "Hudson Valley Word of Mouth" interview segment each week. The "WGXC Congressional Report" also airs here. Some reports come from our partner station, WOOC-LP in Troy, out of The Sanctuary for Independent Media. Tom Roe also cuts up local and national news with songs and sounds for the show. At 9 a.m. "The WGXC Daily," with local headlines, weather, and previews of community events, airs. At 10 a.m., national headlines from Public News Service are on WGXC. Sometimes national, state, or local press conferences, meetings, or events are broadcast live here.
