With compelling reporting and uncommon insight, the program breaks through the white noise to uncover significant issues of the day and carefully expose the relationship of the media to culture and society.

Soon we'll be unwrapping new digital radio stations. First we had to unwrap a new digital transmitter (see photo with GLT Engineer Mark Hill). Transitioning to digital radio means our main signal will sound a bit better and we'll be able to bring you two new radio stations. To accomplish this, we've installed and are still tweaking a new transmitter. Until the installation is complete, we may sound a little funny and sometimes you may not be able to hear us at all. We're sorry for any inconvenience, but we think you'll like the new listening options coming soon.
