Radio Catskill is Joining Forces with WIOX Roxbury
We are bringing the community together for a fun evening of food, drinks, and friendly conversation at the Roxbury Arts Group on November 12.
My family’s from Roxbury so these last few years I’ve really enjoyed tuning in to WIOX from afar and hearing shows hosted by locals. I’m bummed that it’s mostly just an NPR affiliate now.
Hi Gretchen-
Thanks for your feedback.
On November 9, the stations will introduce a fully integrated schedule that incorporates WIOX listener favorites alongside Radio Catskill programming. Shows joining the lineup will include “Pop Up,” “The Andy Cahill Show,” “The Radio Truckstop,” “Something Old, Something Blues,” “The Week on Repeat,” and “All That Gumbo, “along with additional WIOX programming.
The integrated schedule will add more than 18 hours of local programming, bringing together the distinctive voices, musical diversity, and community connections of both stations.
Bringing together the program schedules of two services required making some tough decisions. We would have loved to integrate all of the programming from both stations, but with input from the WIOX team and our Programming Committee, we included WIOX favorites along with our award-winning local and national news programming on Radio Catskill.
Your feedback is valuable, and we hope you will keep listening as we build a stronger regional public radio service.
Take care-
Tim Bruno
General Manager

More than 2/3 of your content is non local programming people can get on demand from the internet. 2 other stations play NPR content also so your programming is redundant. You killed scores of shows and devastated local programming. Shame on you!!

I agree with Roger, this merger has killed our local programming and pushed most of
WIOX’s favorite (music) program hosts to evening slots (can’t we have some music during daylight hours)? We enjoyed 16 yrs. of great local radio, that is now dust! Shame!
I’ve been listening to “A Jet Age Sound” for a couple of years now, and actually became a sustaining monthly member of WIOX because of that particular program. You are moving them from their 10pm to 12pm Saturday night slot to Monday nights from 12pm to 1am Tuesday, so in essence, you’ve cut their program in half and moved them to a time when no one (who has a day job) can listen. Great move, folks! 🙄Either you put them back on Saturdays at their regular time slot or I’m canceling my monthly membership. Your choice.
