WRCT will be continuing our annual tradition of broadcasting for Carnival! We will be providing live coverage of Buggy races on April 4th and 5th from about 7:30am-2:00pm. We will also be hosting a buggy preview on April 2nd from 6pm-7pm so you can tune in to hear guest panelists from the Buggy Alumni Association!
Starting on Friday, February 21, it’s WRCT’s Massive Music Weekend!
We will present 60 hours of non-stop music from our favorite artists, starting at noon on Friday, February 21, 2024, and continuing all weekend long!
Every half-hour we’ll feature a different artist, picked for your listening pleasure by our station members. It’s an incredibly diverse set of artists this year. You’ll hear some of your favorite artists, some you’ve forgotten about, and some whose music is brand new to you! We’ll also have five bands playing live, live, live in the studio!
Catch all the fun on 88.3 FM, Pittsburgh, or streaming from this very website!
Thanks to Spak Brothers, Spirit, Sidecar, and Piada for underwriting portions of WRCT’s 2025 MMW!
