New programs coming to weekends on WRVO

October brings some changes to your weekends on WRVO. We're happy to announce "The New Yorker Radio Hour" will be joining our weekly schedule at 2 p.m. Sundays, followed by "The Moth," which is moving from Saturday evenings to Sunday afternoons at 3 p.m.

On Saturday and Sunday evenings, we're adding a little music to accompany your weekend routines. You'll hear "American Routes" at 7 p.m. Saturdays, followed by "The Retro Cocktail Hour" at 9 p.m. On Sundays, it's "Paul Ingles' Music Archive" at 7 p.m., followed by two hours of "Folk Alley" at 8 p.m. WRVO's "Tuned to Yesterday" remains in place at 10 p.m. every night of the week.

These changes mean we'll be saying goodbye to some familiar shows, including "Live Wire!," "City Arts & Lectures," "Public Radio Presents," and "Big Picture Science." If you've regularly listened to any of these programs in the past, thank you.

While we're excited to mix things up a little bit on the weekends, WRVO remains committed to NPR and local news. We will continue to be your NPR News Station, with the news and intelligent conversation you expect and depend on every day. See a letter from WRVO's Station Manager Bill Drake below as well as an updated schedule. Our updated weekend schedule takes effect October 1. We hope you enjoy what you hear!

Recent cuts to federal funding are challenging our mission to serve central and upstate New York with trusted journalism, vital local coverage, and the diverse programming that informs and connects our communities. This is the moment to join our community of supporters and help keep journalists on the ground, asking hard questions that matter to our region.

Stand with public media and make your gift today—not just for yourself, but for all who depend on WRVO as a trusted resource and civic cornerstone in central and upstate New York.
