WKNC 88.1 FM - North Carolina State University Student RadioNews and features on a variety of topics
Yeah, we’re at it again. WKNC’s team of trusty engineers will be working on our transmitter this afternoon. Listeners on 88.1 FM may experience disruptions in the signal for the next few hours. To enhance your listening pleasure, switch to our Internet stream. We promise they will be done in advance of Lonnie Walker’s in studio interview today at 5 p.m.
For the first time ever, Hillsborough Street will be closed all day on Saturday, March 14th. The festival this year showcases the construction changes occurring over the next two years to Raleigh’s historic street. The event will also feature an eco-friendly arts fashion show, a BBQ taste testing competition, and most importantly- WKNC will be on site and broadcasting live from noon till 2pm! So tune in or join DJ Mick as well as other WKNC staffers on the street for some eco-friendly fun in the sun.
Live bands include:

Brooks Wood band
Our engineering team is continuing to work hard to eradicate the gremlin infestation in our transmitter tower, but in the meantime you may hear bursts of static in the analog signal this afternoon. You can continue to listen to static free WKNC all afternoon through our webstream, which will not be affected by the maintenance. Baseball fans fear not, our engineers will have everything back to normal in time for NC State to take on NC A&T at 6:30.
M.C. talks with Jennifer Halweil about the Hillsborough Street Renaissance, an environmentally-friendly effort to revitalize the street that borders N.C. State’s campus. M.C. also spoke with Mor Aframian and Michael Perros about the Redress Raleigh Fashion Show, part of the Renaissance festivities.
WKNC will be off the air for brief periods throughout the afternoon. In the meantime, please listen to us online at wknc.org/listen. We thank you all for your patience.
We’re back it again, folks. Please excuse our static as our engineers do their thing. Join us for The Local Beat with guest host Gray Matter at 5 p.m. and N.C. State baseball at 6:55 p.m.

Our trusty team of engineers is once again working to tame our renegade transmitter. We will be experiencing signal outages from now until the basketball game begins at 2:45 p.m. We apologize for the inconvenience.
The N.C. State baseball team will take on Hofstra University in a double header today beginning at 2 p.m. Threats of rain prompted the change, but Saturday and Sunday’s games remain as scheduled for 2 p.m. and 1 p.m., respectively. Please note Sunday’s game will be available exclusively at GoPack.com, since WKNC will be airing the final regular season game of Wolfpack Women’s Basketball. For complete baseball and women’s basketball schedules, visit GoPack.com.
Today’s Local Beat will air between games this evening. Non-sports fans are encouraged to listen to WKNC’s sports-free Internet stream at wknc.org/listen.
