WBGO Acquires New Standards From WNYC – RadioInsight

I recently gave up cable for Lent...and almost certainly beyond.

One effect of an extended period without TV is an even greater appreciation for public radio stations, live broadcasts as well as streaming.

Which is a roundabout way of saying, I'm not upset about this news AT ALL!

#WBGO 👍🏻

If I check something new to me out I might use YouTube.
I stream #WBGO a lot.

Some VERY early gameplay of my next game. Captured while listening to #WBGO. I though it went well together!

I heard Ella Fitzgerald today, on WKCR and Count Basie, on WBGO #jazz #radio #music #wckr #wbgo #music

💙🎶😎Honestly one of the best shows/series on radio is Bob Porter's Portraits in Blue on WBGO. Saturday mornings at 6am BGO continued to honor the legacy and extensive knowledge possesed by Mr Porter.

Guy singing on #WBGO says Nassau's gone funky.

Huge if true!

I miss Roseland SO much!

Currently listening to The Rhythm Revue on #WBGO... Felix Hernandez still hosts his dance parties on occasion, but they'll never be the same 😥
