WGXC Afternoon Show: Hudson Valley Congressional Report; John McDonald, Mert Simpson, Arlene Way (Audio)
WGXC's Hudson Valley Congressional Report tracks the votes, speeches, positions, fundraising, and appearances of the representatives in Congress from the Hudson Valley, and the candidates who want to replace them in November. And lawmakers gathered with climate and community groups at the Capitol on April 19 to introduce legislation requiring that the Capitol complex be powered by renewable energy in three years. We hear from Assemblymember John McDonald; Mert Simpson of SHARE (Sheridan Hollow Alliance for Renewable Energy); and Arlene Way of the Arbor Hill Development Corporation. Reported by WOOC's Mark Dunlea.
The show features local news, interviews with community leaders and personalities, a rundown of local and regional events, weather updates, and more about and for the community. The show is a place for a community conversation about issues, with music, and more. Saturday the emphasis is more on radio art, and art on the radio. Unlike shows by individual programmers on the station, the "WGXC Afternoon Show" is considered partially station-run. The Sunday version calls itself "Li Le, Le Tan."
