Wduq

The former jazz and NPR station has changed formats and today is Pittsburgh’s all NPR station. Located at 90.5 FM, WDUQ first started broadcasting in 1949, WDUQ was Duqusene University’s radio station. In 2011 it was sold to WYEP, the call letters were changed to WESA. Today, most of the programming is NPR produced programming and news from the BBC, WESA has locally produced shows during the daytime hours. Weekends brings some great shows like «Wait, Wait… Don’t Tell Me» and «Car Talk». For the Jazz fans, there is a three hour show of jazz Music every Saturday evening at 6 PM. In a town riddled with oldies stations, all sports talk, bigoted, conservative windbags, and way too much country, it’s refreshing to listen to news produced to make you think and not tell you how you SHOULD think.
