WGXC Morning Show: Winston Riley, Darlene McGraw (Audio)

Jul 19, 2021

This morning tune in some of the works of legendary reggae/dub producer Winston Riley, and songs from Sister Nancy, General Echo, Ansel Collins, and others. And hear from disability rights advocate Darlene McGraw, who has been confronted by the police and public officials in Saratoga Springs for chalking her complaints about the city's slow progress in complying with the American Disabilities Act. ADAPT Capital Region held a chalk-in at local government offices to show their support for McGraw, who spoke with Mark Dunlea of WOOC.

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.
