This is worth noting since I and many other neighbors and friends are incessant listeners to WNYC and NPR. So a change on WNYC: That's a change to the soundtrack of my life. This is the info from wnyc.org
WQXR. As the launch date nears, there remain a few final pieces to put
in place on WQXR, but we can tell you that our goal is to build a WQXR
schedule that features more music and fewer interruptions and we hope
that, if you join us next week on 105.9FM, you’ll hear that music is,
indeed, the priority.
First, here’s a a preview of the new program schedules for WNYC
AM820 and 93.9FM, which will go into full effect Friday, October 9th.
You can see the schedule here:
As part of this migration you’ll continue to hear Terrance McKnight
and David Garland hosting in the evenings on 105.9FM. Non-classical
music programs such as New Sounds, Spinning on Air, and The Jonathan
Schwartz Show will remain on WNYC 93.9FM.
Consolidating classical music programming on WQXR allows us to
expand the News, Information and Cultural programming on 93.9FM during
the evening and overnight hours. Starting October 9th, All Things
Considered will be heard for an additional hour weekdays from 7-8pm
following Marketplace and providing listeners with news of the day from
NPR and the WNYC Newsroom. Current AM820 weeknight programs On Point
and Tell Me More will move to 93.9FM, allowing us to introduce a few
often-requested favorites, The Diane Rehm Show and To The Point, to the
AM820 line-up at 9pm and 10pm, respectively. Evening listeners will
have an opportunity to catch WNYC’s afternoon daily talk show about
music, Soundcheck with John Schaefer, weeknights at 10pm on 93.9FM.
WNYC weekend listeners will also hear a new lineup starting October
10th. Some returning public radio favorites include Michael Feldman’s
Whad’Ya Know?, The Splendid Table, and Harry Shearer’s Le Show. We’ve
reworked the placement of our existing weekend programs to create
schedules that will, we hope, give you more opportunities to catch your
own favorite shows.

Another piece in the puzzle: our second full-time music outlet, Q2,
which will be available as a web stream and via HD radio. This 24/7
channel for contemporary and adventurous music will feature large-scale
festival programming and live concerts from venues around New York
(including our own Jerome L. Greene Performance Space). Limor Tomer,
our executive producer for music, likes to describe this stream as “500
years of New Music.” After all, on Q2 you’ll be able to hear everything
from Adams to Zorn, from Gesualdo to Golijov.
We look forward to hearing your thoughts about the new schedule. As
you’ve probably noticed if you’ve listened for a while, our programming
is constantly evolving, and your feedback is part of that process. So
stay tuned!
