Change to 89.7's schedule
WGBH is bringing WCRB 99.5 into our family of noncommercial, listener-supported public broadcasting stations. With the acquisition of 99.5, we are revising 89.7's schedule to develop a new service for our listeners that focuses on news, information, and analysis. As a result, WGBH will be discontinuing Blues on WGBH in December. We are grateful to host Brendan Hogan for sharing his passion, knowledge, and experience with listeners over the years. Read more >
