Thank you for all of your support during our format transitions. As of October 11th, WQCS 88.9 FM has moved to a full-time News & Talk lineup. Morning Edition, All Things Considered, and Fresh Air are exactly where they have been for the past few years. Additionally, you can hear an entire slate of great NPR programming all day long. BBC News is now available late nights and overnights, and the weekends will feature the best of what was previously on HD1 and HD2. Click on the link here to see our entire schedule: 88.9 FM WQCS Program Schedule
Remember, classical music fans now have their own station as well: 91.1 FM WQCP has an incredible schedule of classical programming from around the country and around the world. We understand there are some listeners on the edge of the 88.9 FM signal that are having issues receiving 91.1 FM on their radios. We encourage you to continue to use our streams available on wqcp.org or the WQCS Skill on Alexa to stream WQCP.
Since almost all of the talk programming on WQCS-HD2 is moving to WQCS, we have launched a new station on HD2 and our Lake Okeechobee station, WQJS, featuring great jazz music and will retain BBC News coverage from 5am to 9am.
As always, please let me know if you have any questions or comments.
Sincerely,
Chris Puorro, General Manager - IRSC Public Media
