Nov 26, 2020
Radio Thanksgiving traditions such as playing Arlo Guthrie's "Alice's Restaurant" and Rush Limbaugh's "The True Story of Thanksgiving," and dropping live turkeys from helicopters continue to this day. Dan Seward also contributes a local Thanksgiving story. Plus, Ray Davies' "Thanksgiving Days," and Andy Griffith's comedy routine "What it Was, Was Football," Sly and the Family Stone's "Thank You (Faletteinme Be Mice Elf Agin)," Bob Rivers' "50 Plates to Feed My Brother," and more. 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. 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.
