Welcome Back, Karen Henderson

News Director Karen Henderson returns from an extended leave on Monday, May 5. She resumes her duties as Morning Edition host today and we're happy to have her steady hand back guiding the show every weekday morning 5 - 9am!

Congratulations to Saiward Pharr

Since Karen's been out, you've no doubt enjoyed hearing the maturation of our fill-in host Saiward Pharr. Saiward had never been on the air before, much less hosted a flagship news program like Morning Edition, when she was thrown into the breach last January. We think she's done a wonderful job, and now she's moving over to the host chair for All Things Considered every weekday afternoon 3 - 6pm.
It's great to have our staff back to full-strength and to be able to put much more locally-produced programming into our afternoons and evenings! With so much competition for your time coming from radio, TV, the Web, podcasts, satellite radio and now even your cell phone, keeping WRKF relevant in your daily life is our first priority and, in turn, our biggest challenge. We hope you'll agree that these changes are another big step toward meeting that challenge. 

Night Moosic with Bob Mooberry Returns


We welcome another old friend back to WRKF as Night Moosic with Bob Mooberry makes its return weekday evenings 8 - 10pm. He will still be the host of Midday Classics every day, so you'll be able to enjoy a double-dose of Bob every day beginning Monday, May 5!

Classical Music Programs Start Later

Starting Monday, May 5 the New York Philharmonic, Live at the Concertgebouw, Chicago Symphony, SymphonyCast and the San Francisco Symphony will begin at 10pm each weekday evening.
