Climate activists rallied at the Capitol on April 4 to call on Governor Kathy Hochul to deny a request for a State Air Facility Permit for the Iroquois Pipeline Company’s expansion by compression proposal. The expansion would require doubling the size of polluting fracked gas compressor stations in nearby Athens and Dover as well as two more in Connecticut. We hear from Kim Fraczek of SANE Energy Project; Mary Finneran of Greene County, Charlie Quimby of Concerned Citizens of Dover, Cari Gardner, who lives near the Athens Compressor Station and member of New York Progressive Action Network, and Emily Skyel of Food and Water Watch. By WOOC's Mark Dunlea.

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. Interview segments from Justin Maiman are often heard on this show, as our movie updates from Jenny Ghetti and Amanda Lees. Interviews by hosts of the "WGXC Afternoon Show" also get played back here occasionally. And Jack Sencabaugh contributes the "Backtracks in Time" segment about local history. 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. The show begins each day with local headlines, weather, and previews of community events. Also tune in for national headlines from the Public News Service on WGXC. Sometimes national, state, or local press conferences, meetings, or events are also broadcast live here. Saturdays the show features weekly episodes of the "I Have Seen Niagara" serial.
