Public Radio Music Day 2022 on October 26th

Discovering the Sound of Local Communities

Public Radio 90 is participating in the third annual Public Radio Music Day on October 26, 2022. We join fellow noncommercial music stations, performers, and fans across the country to recognize public radio’s essential community service and unique role in the music world locally and nationally. Public Radio 90 will honor the occasion online and on-air by adding recorded local performances to highlight artists and celebrate the day.

The day's highlights include:

  • Local music features on the morning classical variety show Classiclectic, hosted by Kurt Hauswirth.
  • Local music features on the musical variety show Weekday, hosted by Hans Ahlström.
  • Online and social media features with local musicians

Millions of listeners tune in weekly to hundreds of local public radio music stations like Public Radio 90 across America to discover, learn, and enjoy a mix of music selections, artists, and genres that are, in many cases, available only on public radio. Announced in July, this year's theme - Discovering the Sound of Local Communities - spotlights public radio stations’ return to producing live local concerts and music discovery events for their communities across all genres.

About Public Radio Music Day: Public Radio Music Day is hosted by the noncomMUSIC Alliance and its partners. The noncomMUSIC Alliance celebrates nonprofit, local public radio’s role in connecting artists with the communities who enjoy and support their music. Established in 2018, the Alliance currently has more than 150 partner public radio music stations, all locally owned and operated, yet united by their shared values of music discovery, curation, preservation, performance, and community.
