Earlier today, I posted about this really fine radio station which i came across while scanning for interesting and local stations. Actually, i was looking for a station called the Whip which I'd heard in the area in previous trips, but had neglected to write the call letters down.
I did some more research and found out that WGLT is affiliated with Public Radio and bills itself as "News, Blues and All That Jazz." They've been in business 44 years.
Weekends is for the Blues. Saturday the GLT Blues show is broadcast from noon to 4 am Sunday. On Sunday, Blues is the name of the show from noon to 6 pm.
Then from 6 to 8 pm Sunday, American Routes is broadcast. Being an old road type of person, I had to check it out and found that the show originates in New Orleans and features what is called American Roots Music: blues, jazz, gospel, soul, old-time country, rockabilly, Cajun, zydeco, Tejano and Latin music.
The station streams live so I might have to start listening to it.
I would figure you can pick it up over the airwaves in a thirty mile radius around Normal.

RoadDog's RoadLog Blog: Being my travels down those great two lane highways of this nation as well as news I learn about them from media sources. Since I'm also very interested in historic preservation, there will be a lot of that as well.
The Shamrock Court Motel in Sullivan, Missouri. It can be yours for $125,000. Lots of possibilities. Actually, now you're too late. Missouri's Roamin' Rich bought it.
