Delmarva Public Media is happy to announce several new programs that will debut on our airwaves this week.
“We are excited to bring in some new music programs that will expand and improve our sound on all three of our stations”, said Bryan Russo, Chief Content Officer. “For the past several years, we have been simulcasting our Saturday afternoon lineup on WESM and WSDL from 12-5pm. Now, WSDL will have its own unique and dynamic programming during that time offering our listeners more options and more opportunity to discover great music.”
Additionally, with the recent departure of Stephen Philip Harvey, WESM will replace his show Jazz Horizons with Live at the Green Lady Lounge, which takes listeners inside one of the premiere jazz clubs in Kansas City. Episodes of Jazz Horizons will remain on our website for on demand listening for those who were fans of Mr. Harvey’s program.
The WESM Saturday lineup of The Soul Show, Culture Caravan, and Juke in the Back will remain unchanged, however listeners will be introduced to a new host on Culture Caravan in the coming weeks.
Here's the breakdown:
