WCUW News and Mayor of Musictown Concert Calendar!

Contribute now and ensure that the extraordinary efforts of more than 60 volunteer radio programmers, logging more than 6,200 hours (about 8 and a half months) of volunteer time, will add up to a sum that is much greater than all its parts—independent, community-owned, commercial-free radio broadcasting, reflecting and giving a voice to all of greater Worcester’s diverse and exciting cultures, people, ideas, and music.

Hosted by Jim Macatee

I am Tim, your bartender for the night. I'll be mixing up songs that will intoxicate you with dark thoughts, leave you feeling inebriated on bitter memories, and ultimately make you realize that you have it pretty good.

Airing Saturday mornings from 7 AM to 9 AM
