WGMC is Rochester's home for real jazz. We broadcast 24 hours a day, seven days a week at 90.1 FM , and over the Internet. (Listen now!) We play more hours of live, local jazz than any radio station in the United States. If you already love jazz, or if you'd like to know more about it, check us out. If you have a taste for swing, funk, improvisation, and experimentation - then your radio or computer should be locked on 90.1 WGMC.
Our Mission
At 90.1 WGMC, we believe that jazz is a living music. That's why half our broadcast hours are focused on current artists who are committed to moving the music forward. WGMC plays more new music than any radio station in the U.S. On the flip side, we also play a heaping portion of the classics, names like Ella Fitzgerald, Duke Ellington, Wayne Shorter, John Coltrane, Miles Davis, Billie Holiday, and many more. When you listen to 90.1 WGMC, you get the best new jazz, and the best jazz of all time.

Breaking Through Barriers
90.1 WGMC is also an important outlet for music and voices that don't make it onto commercial radio. Our longest-running show is Polka Bandstand. We also feature the Lituanian-language Dainos Aidas; a Turkish-language show; and Latina Del Swing, a three-hour program of Latin music (broadcast in Spanish). You don't need a plane ticket and passport to expand your horizons...all you need is a radio or computer tuned to 90.1 WGMC. (Check out our program schedule for more information.)
It's YOUR Station
