HEAR THISWelcome to 2016! We just wrapped up a very big year for WKAR in your community. In August, WKAR-FM received the prestigious Marconi Award for Best Noncommercial Station from the National Association of Broadcasters. Stories from Current State received 11 awards from the Michigan Association of Broadcasters and Associated Press. We welcomed a new voice for classical music and the arts to your community when Jamie Paisley joined the station. And we brought new classical shows to the airwaves with Sunday Baroque and Sunday Classics with Timothy Muffit. All made possible only with your support. We're looking forward to another big year with you in 2016!
