My public radio station, wmkvfm.org (home site to click on live broadcast), heard around the world on the Internet, is located in Cincinnati, Ohio, and heard locally at wmkv 89.3 FM.

It is a station targeted to those 50 plus, playing the American Songboo from the Big Band Era. In addition there's replayed all the old radio shows  from Jack Benny to Fiber McGee and Molly, plus featuring bands such as Glenn Miller, Artie Shaw, Harry James, etc. It's big band music at its best, which is now America's new classic swing.

Many seniors regularly broadcast at WMKV 89.3 FM, myself included. I have the Alice Hornbaker Show Mondays at 10 a.m., featuring Big Band music, and we feature segments such as awarding a weekly Well, Duh award to someone who earns one for sheer dumb and dumbness acts.

Now in its 13th year of broadcasting, wmkvfm.org is supported by its listeners, who hear us from Germany to Japan. A lot of listeners who enjoy our station also are under age 50, which proves tate in music is spread over a lifestime.
