Great news for WLNZ listeners,
the FCC has granted Lansing Public Radio a power increase. This increase
will nearly triple our current power – which means better reception in
Lansing and the surrounding towns and suburbs of Lansing. The
equipment and installation needed for the power increase has been estimated
at around $20.000 – and that’s where you come in. The WLNZ Power Drive
is on – we need our listeners to come together like never before. If you are
already a member of WLNZ, please consider either renewing your membership at
a higher level, or making a special donation to assist with the power
increase. If you’re not a member, now is the time to become one. The sooner
we raise the funds, the sooner we can get on air with more power. Find out
how to get on board for the WLNZ Power Drive by calling 517-483-1000
.Your donations are needed now more than ever. Please consider making your a
donation today.
The WLNZ Coffee
Break can be heard on WLNZ from 8am -10am each weekday morning. One
hour of the show can be seen on Comcast Cable on Channel 15 in Lansing and
Channel 31 in East Lansing and Meridian Township, Monday through
Friday. Times are as follows: 9:00-10am, 2:00-3:00pm and 8:00-9:00pm. If

Blues Beat
Each week we feature a variety of
blues music styles including classic as well as new blues on the air
between 10pm and 2am. The simplicity of blues music with its
three-chord progressions and simple structures will never undermine
the degree of traditionalism and personal expression at its core.
Although, the blues has remained the same since its inception most
blues are open to endless improvisations, lyrically and musically.
You'll get more blues at WLNZ each week on your FM dial than
any where else in town.

Blues Before
Sunrise
WLNZ is pleased to present the return of an old-time
favorite to the airwaves in Lansing. Blues Before Sunrise
airs Sunday mornings from 1am-6am each week.

FM
Odyssey
The show re-creates the lost art of the true
freeform, FM format that your baby-boomer listeners knew and loved
(and wouldn't mind hearing again). FM ODYSSEY maintains this format
by blending rarely played cuts from long-standing artists with new
and emerging singer/songwriters. The result is substantially more
than a folk show, more expansive and diverse than AAA, and not even
closely related to an oldies or classic rock format. FM ODYSSEY has
created a surprising new element that must be heard to be believed.
It is also a chance to experience public radio!
