WRCT: a radio station

Now that the fall semester is under way at Carnegie Mellon University, WRCT is pleased to announce the return of student-run, in-studio shows to our Fall 2020 schedule.

Since the pandemic crisis began in March, CMU students and WRCT community volunteers have been keeping the intelligent, energetic, and diverse programming you’ve come to associate with WRCT on the air with remote recorded programs. This fall, many of our student-run shows return to live programming from the WRCT studios.

In addition, some of our local Public Affairs programs will return to our studios: Ebony Spectrum (6:00 p.m. Wednesdays) and Fifth Quarter (7:00 p.m. Fridays) to start — others will follow as circumstances allow. For example, due to the ongoing pandemic restrictions, WRCT cannot yet host live music on our Advanced Calculus program. However, you can hear some of the intriguing live sets of music that have aired previously on Advanced Calculus: Recitation, Mondays at 9:00 p.m.

So check out our Fall 2020 schedule (effective Monday, September 7). Whether they’re live in the WRCT studios or broadcasting from their home studios, WRCT community volunteers and CMU students will continue to broadcast Pittsburgh’s best variety of music and public affairs programming 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, on 88.3 FM, Pittsburgh, or streaming from this very website!

Catch the excitement Thursday, September 10, at 8:00 p.m. on 88.3 FM, Pittsburgh, or streaming from this very website!

Eric tells us it will be “a very special show with members of the Outlaws, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Molly Hatchet, Angel, and Thor calling in from around the country (and Canada) telling stories about Charlie you don’t want to miss. All Charlie – with music spanning his entire career!”
