We caught the last tour of the day conducted by long time docent Peggy - she did a very nice job talking about the different studios, the programming, and some of the technical aspects of the place.

One of the country's best classical music stations broadcast out of upstate New York. While some…read moreclassical stations are content to recycle the same pieces endlessly, WXXI steps up with performances from Glimmerglass, Wolf Trap, Chicago, and the orchestras of Cleveland, Dallas, and Santa Fe. One can hear classical music from all over the US. An Empire State of mind. They have unique shows like "Classical Guitar Alive" and "With Heart and Voice."

MAN OH MAN! Why am I the first to review this incredible station?…read more Just when you think radio programming in Rochester was completely dead, you turn the dial over to 103.9 and it's like a deaf man hearing for the first time. Seriously, what I love about WDKX is that from its inception, it has operated 24/7, since 1974! The variety of programming is completely original and they have a great balance of contemporary music and the classic hits! With Rochester's radio dial rapidly filling up with Clear Channel clones, WDKX is a refreshing breath of fresh air! A little known fact: the call sign for WDKX stands for Fredrick Douglass, Martin Luther King Jr., and Malcolm X.

You can also catch PHC repeats on Sunday noon, and the NPR news shows in mornings and afternoons.
