4:00 pm: Dave Schwartz presents blues guitarist Robert Crotty with bass player Bobo Lavornga in a live performance recorded at our studio Sunday night especially for broadcast on WPKN/WPKM.

And he plays the blues, exquisitely arranged tunes on the acoustic guitar, raucous numbers on the electric guitar. He's kept the blues going in the New Haven area since the early '70s."

Saturday Mornings on WPKN - New and Improved!!!

We have determined that we no longer need to shut down our transmitter on a weekly basis in order to do proper maintenance. As a result, WPKN will continue broadcasting throughout Saturday mornings instead of going off the air between 8:45 a.m. and 10 a.m. as had been the practice until this week. There may be times in the future where we will have to shut down the transmitter for maintenance work, but these times are expected to be brief, few and infrequent. Whenever possible, we will announce those times in advance - on the air and on this blog.
