Beginning Saturday, June 11, WSQX will feature a new line-up of weekend morning programming. Years of research has shown that WSQX has had almost no listenership to jazz on Sunday mornings, which means it's providing nearly no service to our community during that time of day. As a result, we've decided to invest in Sunday morning programming and enhance the quality of our service with the addition of news and information programs, such as the radio versions of "America's Test Kitchen" and "Travels with Rick Steves." Plus, a new, weekly program, "The New Yorker Radio Hour," which is already winning popularity among public radio stations nationwide.

With funding from the state legislature, the program has filled its 16 slots and has authorized 16 more. NewsHour Weekend Correspondent Christopher Booker reports on Saturday.
