WKAR launches online listening

Move over Pandora.

WKAR Radio had launched several online-only music listening streams available at the WKAR.org website.   The streams include folk, jazz, classical as well as NPR programming.

WKAR Folk Alley features non-stop folk, ranging from bluegrass to Celtic, World Music, and traditional folk. In addition to such NPR programming as “The Thistle and the Shamrock,” listeners can enjoy encore broadcasts of Bob Blackman’s “The Folk Tradition.”

WKAR Jazz features jazz in every style, from bebop to Dixieland, big band swing to contemporary. Included are encore broadcasts of Doug Collar’s “Jazz ‘til Midnight” and the new “Dan Bayer Jazz Show,” featuring WKAR’s own Dan Bayer.

WKAR Classical is all-classical, all the time, with Mark Schwitzgoebel and Jody Knol during the daytime hours of 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. The music continues with a variety of other hosts.

Also available online are streams of WKAR 90.5 Classical, which includes NPR news programs “Morning Edition” (5-9 a.m.) and “All Things Considered (4-7 p.m.); and AM870, which features such favorites as “Earle Robinson’s SportsTalk 870,” “Talk of the Nation,” “Radio Reader, “Fresh Air,” and others, followed by news from the BBC through the evening and overnight hours.
