WRCT: a radio station

Hey Yinz!

Do you want to free passes to VIA? I mean, who wouldn’t love the opportunity to see Toy Selectah, Laurel Halo, Zombi, Austra, Underground Resistance, Donato Dozzy and many more super awesome artists? At WRCT we’re psyched to see such an incredible festival happening right here in da ‘Burgh and we want to give you, our dedicated listeners, a chance to enjoy the magic.

Tune into The Spacebar on Monday at 8pm for chance to win a pair of tickets to Saturday’s day of events. If you don’t win the prize then, don’t worry! Tune in to Couch Dancing on Wednesday from 3-5:30pm for a chance to win tickets to Friday’s day of events. Check out the program of events here. You can thank us later.

Hey there party people. Summer has come and gone, leaving us in the bitter Pittsburgh cold that we have become so accustomed to. But fear not! WRCT’s Fall Schedule has just begun and we have many new and exciting offerings for you to keep you warm and dry.

Have you ever had a yearning to hear the sweet sounds of Mother Russia? WRCT has you covered with the Russian Hour with Maxim on Tuesdays from 11pm till midnight and Thursdays from 4pm till 5pm. If that’s not your jam, perhaps you may enjoy two hours of classic Italo Disco and Glam Rock on Bridge City Dreamer with DJ Tammy on Thursdays from 1pm to 3pm. Not into having fun? It’s okay. Come witness the apocalypse with Matt Squared on Sundays from noon till 1pm. Your life will never be the same.

And for all our loyal fans, don’t worry, your favorite shows are still here. Zombo will still be making your ears bleed on Fridays, we’re still providing cultural education with Gordon Spencer on Sundays, and we’re still keeping in touch with the community with What’s Really Good Radio on Monday nights.

Oh yes, the rumors are true: Two forces of unstoppable good in the Pittsburgh music community have teamed up to lead a full-on music revolution. WRCT is happy to announce its partnership with VIA, a collective of Pittsburgh artists, musicians and event producers merging lights & sounds to create amazing experiences, and we’ve got some exciting things in store.

Starting in September, WRCT will be airing a special VIA feature that will showcase some of our favorite acts appearing at VIA along with exclusive interviews and other marvelous content — oodles and oodles of content, to be exact! And we’ll even be giving away tickets to the festival throughout September, so you best keep your radio tuned to 88.3 if you want to see Battles, Four Tet, Dam-Funk, FaltyDL, Underground Resistance and a slew of other artists and performers courtesy of WRCT.

As VIA so eloquently put it: If WRCT and VIA were both people, we’d do that handshake where you rub the other person’s palm with your middle finger. We might have met our soulmate. via-pgh.com. Check it out.
