WGXC Morning Show: Ryan Turley, Fiona Donovan (Audio)

Jul 20, 2021

Ryan Turley, on the board of Art Austerlitz, describes the contemporary art program run by the Austerlitz Historical Society, and its current show, "Line, Mass, Form," which closes July 25. Children's music for adults is the theme today, with sounds and songs from Larry Levan, De La Soul, Bob Dorough, Feist, Piero Umiliani, and others. And the General Manger of WCDB 90.9-FM of the University at Albany, Fiona Donovan spoke with WOOC's Caelan McPherson about the history of the WCDB, how the pandemic effected WCDB, and much more. "Is Radio Dying?" is a series by Caelan McPherson about radio stations, their setup, what's important to them, and every episode ends with the question, "Do you think Radio is dying?"

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.
