History

Established in 1987.

"Sunday Morning Baroque" was born on September 6, 1987 on WSHU Public Radio in Fairfield, CT. It was a 90 minute "filler" program between two network shows, airing from 8:30-10am, and the only instructions given were to "play baroque music." Armed with a newly minted degree in music, Suzanne Bona had never even set foot in a radio station before, and it was truly seat-of-the-pants learning. Listeners like you responded enthusiastically, and Sunday Morning Baroque lived and grew and expanded on WSHU. On September 6, 1998 -- eleven years to the day later -- the newly renamed "Sunday Baroque" was launched as a national program on four pilot stations in addition to WSHU: WGUC Cincinnati, KBAQ Phoenix, WETA Washington, DC, and WUSF Tampa. Today, more than 200 stations across the United States broadcast the program to hundreds of thousands of listeners, and Sunday Baroque is still growing as we continue to welcome new stations and new music lovers.
