GCR Welcomes New Partner Station

 Global Community Radio is pleased to welcome WEJP-LP in Wheeling, West Virginia as a new partner station. WEJP will rebroadcast portions of GCR2 during overnights, and may ass more content from GCR2 or GCR3 to their schedule in the future. Thanks to John Morgan and the crew at WEJP for choosing to partner with us.

GCR Welcomes Neon Jazz to the GCR3 Schedule

 Global Community Radio is pleased to welcome Neon Jazz to our already diverse lineup of Jazz programs. The show, based in Kansas City, offers listeners some of the best in new releases as well as interview segments with the artists that are making the music and keeping Jazz alive in the 21st century. We'll be airing a mix of new episodes as well as shows from Joe's extensive archive. Tune in late night Monday to Friday for Neon Jazz on GCR3.

VOA R.I.P.

As many of you may already know, after 82 years of being a bastion of free speech, unbiased news coverage, and American culture to the world, The Voice of America and other US Government sponsored international broadcast services were abruptly shuttered last weekend.

Global Community Radio deeply regrets these developments in so many ways, not the least of which being the fact that GCR has been a VOA affiliate since the launch of the station in December of 2015. We have carried many of VOA's programs, in addition to its top of hour newscasts. Now, all of that is gone.

We have been retooling the schedule of GCR1 to accommodate for this sudden loss. We are in negotiations right now with a few other news providers, and details of those negotiations will be forthcoming. In the meantime, we are running some new programming in "test mode" to determine if partner stations and listeners like it. Please tune in to GCR1 and let us know your thoughts. The program schedule is slowly being updated as details are finalized.

There is some hope in certain circles that congress and/or the courts may step in and order that VOA be reinstated. If and when this happens, and if the service is restored to its former glory, and not simply used as a propaganda tool, GCR may consider reinstating some VOA content.

Thank you to all of our partner stations and listeners for their continued support.

Changes to GCR Schedules for 2025

 Global Community Radio has made further changes to its music streams' schedules. These changes are due in part to the cancellation of some shows recently, as well as requests and feedback from our listeners and partner stations. The full and up to date schedules appear on this blog, as always.

GCR Schedule Changes: October 2024

 Global Community Radio has made some changes across all three of its online streams. On GCR1, there are no times for shows like Storage Unit 217, Encouragementology, and the Anna Jinja show. We've also added the new VOA News series The Issue to the lineup. GCR2 adds shows like Blues Hound Radio and Ahmet's House. GCR3 adds The Jazz Oasis, from the same producer who is best know for Blues Before Sunrise. As always, the updated schedules are posted on this website.

GCR2 Schedule Changes

GCR2 is pleased to welcome several new shows to our already eclectic lineup. These shows include new series' which focus on Welsh Music, Caribbean Music, and eclectic global Pop. See the full, up to date schedule on this blog.

Changes to GCR1 Schedule

 We've made a few changes to the GCR1 lineup. Monday through Friday at 11:30 PM Eastern/8:30 Pacific, we are now offering audio simulcasts of various programs from DW's TV service. We think these shows will compliment the fine news and public service programming we have been airing from the German public broadcaster for many years. Also, we've replaced Inspired/Interfaith Voices with a similarly minded show called Spirit In Action every Sunday at 8:05 AM Eastern/5:05 Pacific. The Civil Liberties Minute now airs Sundays at 6:58 AM Eastern. Thank you for listening to GCR1, News And More.
