Story Ends

At 7 and 8 am you can hear NPR news. At 7:30 am I'll bring you news headlines from the Associated Press, sports scores and headlines, and a look at the weather forecast. Join me at 8:30 for the Community Calendar, a good look at what's happening around the North Country, followed by our weekend regional news feature. Just before 9 Martha Foley and Dr. Curt Stager discuss the natural world on Natural Selections. However you enjoy your Sunday mornings I hope you'll invite me to join you by tuning in to FM in the Morning. News, weather, sports, great classical music—just add hot coffee and a window seat.

By the way—for something completely different—check out my flip side on String Fever—two hours of bluegrass and acoustic music, every Thursday afternoon from 3-5. Is there a piece of music you'd like to hear on the show? You can email your request from this web page. Happy listening, and I'll see you on the radio!
