GD Hour returns to Syracuse
Hi David, Hey, WAER is ready to have GDH return to our lineup!!! Our listeners have spoken and we want to add the show back. It will air Saturdays at 3 PM and I would like to start April 19th…. Of several changes that we made last summer, GDH had the largest number of listener requests. Thanks and welcome back to WAER, Ron Ockert Director of Programming & Operations WAER – FM 88.3 FM, HD, HD2 Music, News & NPR from Syracuse University
