KXCV-KRNW Announces Exciting New Programming
KXCV-KRNW is proud to announce some exciting program additions. One part of KXCV-KRNW's two fold mission is to continue to bring alternative musical programming to our area and we're excited about our new program "Rhythm 'N Roots". It's a celebration of American Roots music. When you stop and listen, you quickly realize that music is all around us--at a local festival, at a dance hall on Friday and Saturday nights, on KXCV-KRNW or on your .mp3 player. Whether it's blues, country, folk, rock or gospel. American roots music reveals the American story--people reshaping themselves in a new and changing world. As Americans form a variety of heritages shared cultural influences, musicians found new ways to play unique sounds learned from new neighbors on traditional instruments. "Rhythm "N Roots" from 9am to noon each weekday morning takes all these musical influences, these exciting new sounds and brings to you new American music!
The weekday line-up will also feature Talk of the Nation from 1 to 3 p.m. daily (Talk of the Nation - links the headlines with what's on people's minds, providing a springboard for listeners and experts to exchange ideas and pose critical questions about major events in the news and the world around them.) followed by Fresh Air at 3 p.m. and All Things Considered from 4 to 6 p.m.
We are also excited about Mountain Stage (its listeners the best seats in the house for performances captured in front of a live audience by established stars and emerging artists. It's a two-hour weekly exploration of the exciting and spontaneous world of live music, offering intelligent, contemporary music seasoned with traditional and roots performers.) following Prairie Home Companion each Saturday night from 7 to 9 p.m.
Tell your friends and neighbors about the wonderful variety of great music and interesting and thought provoking news and information that you can only hear through our partnership with National Public Radio and your radio station KXCV-KRNW 90.5 and 88.9 FM.
