I’m super pleased to announce that a new station — 106.1 The Corner, in Charlottesville, Virginia — has picked up the show!  The Corner is a commercial AAA station not unlike the River, with a real commitment to community and an eclectic playlist.  They’ll be airing the show Sunday mornings starting this weekend.

Adding them into our current affiliates, Spare the Rock is now heard on five stations, two commercial and three non-commercial!  Here’s when you can hear us, all times local:

• 93.9/101.5 The River in Northampton, MA, and Brattleboro, VT,  Saturdays at 8 am
• 106.1 The Corner in Charlottesville, VA, Sundays at 8 am
• KVRZ in Libby, MT, Saturdays at 9 am
• Valley Free Radio in Northampton, MA, Saturdays at 7 am
• WMCN Macalester College Radio in St. Paul, MN, TBA when school is back in session

The show is distributed by PRX, and you can listen on demand at their website too.  And if you know of a radio station where we’d be a great fit, let me know (show AT sparetherock DOT com) or send them to our syndication information page!
