WQXR Philharmonic Broadcast To Move To Saturdays At 8:00 P.M.

Starting on April 7, 2018, 105.9 FM WQXR will broadcast The New York Philharmonic This Week, the Orchestra's national and international two-hour radio broadcast, in the New York metropolitan area on Saturdays at 8:00 p.m. Eastern time, departing from its current slot on Thursdays at 9:00 p.m.

The change is part of WQXR's mission to broadcast New York City cultural programming on Saturday evenings.

Currently in its 14th season, the award-winning series is hosted by actor Alec Baldwin. It is syndicated nationally 52 weeks per year and available for streaming on nyphil.org. Produced by the Philharmonic, The New York Philharmonic This Week is syndicated to more than 400 outlets nationally and in dozens of countries; streamed to approximately 25,000 listeners via nyphil.org; available on SoundCloud; and distributed worldwide to millions of households abroad. The New York Philharmonic has had a nearly unbroken radio presence since 1922.
