New weekend lineup coming to WCMU

Saturdays and Sundays will sound a little bit different beginning August 2, when WCMU introduces a new weekend schedule. Programs like Tiny Desk, This Old House and Snap Judgement will be joining our lineup, while other programs will be moving to new days and times.

These changes were made with you, our listeners, in mind. They reflect feedback we received from our spring listener survey, and are designed to make WCMU an even more rewarding part of your weekend. Learn more about our new programs, and see all the changes, below:
