WBOM begins the morning playing music from the dawn of recorded sound. WBOM progresses through the 20th Century – playing the well-known hits, classics as well as songs that should be remembered. An hour of Live at Five and then into the 21st Century.
In the evening, WBOM plays local music from the area – Rockford, Illinois, the Midwest – plus artists that have played at the Mendelssohn Performing Arts Center and Charlotte’s Web over the years (Friends). At midnight, we play blues before going to jazz (A-Train to Birdland) and classical music overnight.
We switch things up on the weekends – kicking off Friday night with goth music (Isolation Disorder) and punk (Cafe Zed).
Saturday morning you can hear the best reggae on Rocksteady Bluebeat starting at 8:00 am. On Saturday nights, listen to your favorite albums on The Inner Groove at 7:00 pm. Then stay tuned and listen to our EDM show – Vibe Addict – at 9:00 pm.
On Sundays, we feature Inspiration at 8:00 am. We finish up the weekend with music sung in languages other than English (Lingua Franca), your favorite music moments from radio and TV (Cinephonic), and then an hour of ambient and new age music (Akasha).
We break up the music with award-winning talk – In Print Radio, VERSEd, and Artist Spotlight. And if you miss a live show at the Mendelssohn, you can listen to what you missed on Performance on Sunday nights.
