WGXC Morning Show: WGXC Congressional Report (Audio)

Feb 07, 2022

The WGXC Congressional Report includes news about the representatives of the 19th and 20th Congressional Districts, and the candidates running against them. This week, much news about redistricting. Yes, on February 3, the New York State legislature passed, and the Governor Kathy Hochul signed, legislation establishing new electoral district lines in New York State. This action comes after a failed attempt at an independent redistricting process and has drawn fire from good government groups and partisan politicos alike. Assemblymember John McDonald spoke with WOOC's Corinne Carey about his take on the process, and the results.

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 produces the "Hudson Valley Word of Mouth" interview segment every Thursday. 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. At 9 a.m. "The WGXC Daily," with local headlines, weather, and previews of community events, airs. 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.
