WAMC Public Radio

WAMC Northeast Public Radio, established in 1984, is a non-commercial 501(c)(3), public radio station broadcasting twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week with a schedule of news, information, music, and cultural programming.  WAMC’s charter directs them to “furnish, prepare, and present non-profit and non-commercial educational, instructional and cultural radio programs.”  The purpose of WAMC is to serve the public, bringing award-winning news and information that is important to them, reflecting their diversity in WAMC’s programming.  In addition to programming provided by National Public Radio, American Public Media, and other national broadcasters, WAMC produces and broadcasts nine locally-aired programs and nine nationally-syndicated programs, which are broadcast by hundreds of radio stations throughout North America and on Armed Forces Radio.  With over 500,000 monthly listeners, WAMC ranks among the most-listened-to public radio stations in the United States. The station’s listening area reaches parts of seven states, including New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and New Hampshire; as well as parts of Canada.

The Linda, WAMC’s Performing Arts Studio, is a hybrid performance venue, broadcast studio and concert hall located in the heart of Central Avenues Midtown Grid at the corner of Central Avenue and Quail Street in Albany, New York. The 300-person capacity experience is truly unique and the connection between the performer and the patron is unlike any other.
