It’s the weekend and we have a Beaver Island boatload of special shows lined up for you including a presentation of the 2015 Christmas Cantata, a new Country Classics show with Sheri Timsak and a new edition of the Top Ten + Five.
Feed your mind with information programming on Saturday and Sunday morning. At 6:00 a.m. it’s Worldlink with a look at personal stories behind today’s global news headline. That’s followed at 7:00 by Inside Europe and then Living Planet at 8:00.
Feed your soul with our broad variety of special music shows. At 10 Saturday morning and again at 4:00 p.m., the Top Ten + Five is playing on WVBI with host Emily Boyle’s countdown. The theme this week: Animal Kingdom. Then Sheri Timsak kicks off Saturday evening with Country Classics from 5 to 7 followed by Celtic Connections at 7 and The International Americana Music Show at 8. At 9 WVBI’s own Mark Beltaire will be Rockin’ the Boat with more holiday tunes followed by jazz and more at 10 with two hours of Full Moon Hacksaw.
On Sunday, the Milwaukee Symphony takes to the air at 2 followed by the Beaver Island Christmas Cantata at 4–a very special Christmas musical program featuring the Cantata Singers as well as the Childrens Choir recorded last week at the Beaver Island Christian Church. When the Cantata wraps up, Phil Becker will have plenty in his stacks of wax for the Sunday Night Oldies Show followed from 7 through midnight with a repeat of Saturday evening’s lineup.
In between it’s the Cottage Mix with lots or your holiday favorites. No matter what your musical taste you’ll find lots to like this weekend on your community radio station on 100.1 on the island and worldwide at www.wvbi.net.
