Every weekday for over three decades, Morning Edition has taken listeners around the country and the world with two hours of multi-faceted stories and commentaries that inform, challenge and occasionally amuse. Morning Edition is the most listened-to news radio program in the country, and it is listener supported. Thanks for donating to our Fall Drive last month! Tune in for Morning Edition Mondays through Fridays, 5 to 9 a.m.

After 38 years and more than 900 episodes, the host of Mountain Stage and its co-founder, Larry Groce, has handed over full-time hosting responsibilities to Kathy Mattea. A GRAMMY and CMA Award winner, Mattea has the most appearances by a female artist in Mountain Stage history. She has been serving as guest-host periodically since 2019. Larry remains involved behind the scenes, and will still be heard hosting occasionally, as the staff continues to program a mixture of classic episodes and fresh shows that have been recorded in 2021. We want to extend our appreciation for the nearly four decades of dedication and passion Larry has brought to each episode, and we celebrate Kathy’s new role with the show. Sundays Noon - 1:00 p.m.

“Long before I became an underwriter of WCMU Public Radio, I was a teenage listener of programs you couldn’t find anywhere else on the dial. I view my relationship with WCMU as a collaboration to help ensure alternative content remains available for those looking for non-mainstream media and entertainment.” - Bryan Galloup/Galloup Guitars
