"In 1943 WNYC-FM went on the air for the first time. Join us as we look back and celebrate six decades of great radio with a special one-hour program. You'll hear exciting performances, incisive commentary, and exploration of the creative process with artists such as Leonard Bernstein, Thelonious Monk, Bela Bartok, Bob Dylan, The Kronos Quartet, Aaron Copland and many others. We've delved deep into the archives to bring you historical gems, fond reminiscences, and the spirit of innovation that has characterized WNYC's FM broadcasts for the past sixty years.
