Our new program schedule goes into effect on Monday, April 1st. This new lineup was developed based on the many requests and suggestions from you, our listeners. We feel this new lineup, with many new programs along with some established favorites, will appeal to the diverse community that we serve.
The new schedule has been posted on the schedule page of this website. In the coming days, we will be reinstating clickable links to our programs' websites.
Thank you for your patience as we work hard to build a community radio station that we can all be proud of. As always, your continued feedback and support are greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Remembering Terry Doyle
Dear Listeners.
It is my sad duty to inform you of the passing of Terry Doyle, host of the 'Imprint' radio show which was heard on several community radio stations across upstate NY, including Geneva Community Radio.
The details of his passing are still sketchy at this point. We do know that he suffered a heart attack a couple of weeks back, and had been recovering in a Cooperstown hospital. He e-mailed his affiliates earlier this week, advising them that production of the anual 'Imprint Awards Special' would be delayed until next week. Then came the tragic news of his passing on Wednesday, 2/6. My thanks to Gary Wickham at WUOW in Oneonta for sending word of his passing.
We at Geneva Community Radio are proud to have known Terry, and to have been an affiliate of the 'Imprint' program until the very end. This is a tragic loss for local music in upstate NY. To be sure, his program was unique. There will never be another show like 'Imprint'.
We will air the final episode of 'Imprint' one last time this Friday, 2/8, at 4:00 PM. It is unclear at this point what will replace the program in this time slot. Please keep checking this blog, and the schedule page, for those details as they become available.

Schedule Changes
Happy New Year from all of us at Geneva Community Radio. The New Year is bringing a few changes to the GCR schedule. Here they are:
Soundscape 100 Ceases Production
The weekly pop music program from DW Radio has been cancelled. We regret this, as it was a truly unique program as far as pop music shows go. Unfortunately, it's out of our hands.
This will set in motion several schedule changes.
On Friday evenings, the lineup between 8 and 10 PM will look like this:
8:00 World in Progress
8:30 Pulse
9:00 The Treatment
9:30 The Business
World in Progress had been airing Sunday afternoons. Thus, a few changes to the Sunday schedule to avoid duplication, and to ensure diversity in our weekly schedule.
We are pleased to announce the addition of three short weekly magazines from UN Radio. Between 3:00 and 3:30 PM, we will air UN Calling Asia, UN and Africa, and Women, respectively. This will be followed by:
3:30 Dateline Pacific
4:00 The Shortwave Report
4:30 Voices of Our World
Lastly, a change to our block of media related shows. We've decided to try a new show during this block. Media Network Plus is a production of PCJ Media. We felt it would be a better fit with Glenn Hauser's World of Radio. We may consider expanding the media block in the future, at which time we could consider bringing back the International Radio Report, along with the possibility of adding one or two other shows we'd like to add.
As always, we'd like your feedback. Your input is critical when it comes to deciding what programs we air. Send us your feedback. Tell us what you want to hear (and even what you DON'T want to hear) on Geneva Community Radio.

Happy Holidays From GCR
We at Geneva Community Radio would like to wish all of you a safe and happy Holiday Season. Please join us for special holiday programming beginning today (12/24) at 3 p.m. with a special holiday edition of Radio Deluxe. From there, you'll be treated to a wide variety of music with a holiday theme. Everything from Jazz to Folk to Classical to Oldies. We'll also throw in several hours of old time radio shows with a holiday theme to them. So stay logged on to GCR all Christmas Even night and all Christmas Day for a variety of music that's sure to put you in the holiday mood. It's our gift to you, our listeners.
Our regular program schedule will return sometime on Wednesday, 12/26. Because we will be switching from our usual automation system to a Winamp playlist, we will be joining the feed of the World Radio Network once the holiday programming concludes. This programming will remain on the air until we return to the studio to resume normal programming. We are taking this opportunity to spend quality time with our respective families, as most of you will be doing.
So, again, please enjoy the music, and thanks for listening to and supporting Geneva Community Radio!

FCC Announces New Filing Window for LPFM
As manager of Geneva Community Radio, I take great pride in telling you, our listeners and followers, that the moment we've been waiting for has finally arrived.
On November 30th, 2012, the FCC announced plans for a new filing window for LPFM stations, which will open in October of next year.
You can read a press release about this announcement from the Prometheus Radio Project by clicking here.
Okay. So, what now?
More than ever before, Geneva Community Radio needs YOUR support. When we say "support" we mean it in two ways.
!!!Host Your Own Radio Show!!!
We want to hear from YOU if you have an idea for a radio program. As a community radio station, GCR is open to all members of the Geneva community (and beyond). Unlike commercial radio, GCR doesn't have a predetermined format. We pride ourselves on offering programming that isn't typically found on the radio dial. We want our programmers to be original and creative, and for our programs to be unique and different. For it is this quality that will truly set GCR apart from the other stations in the region. To learn more about hosting your own show, click the Get Involved link on this site.
!!!Donate to GCR!!!
Geneva Community Radio is non-profit, non-commercial, and 100% community supported. FCC regulations forbid us from running conventional commercials (not that we would even if we could). And, unlike public radio stations, we receive absolutely no funding from the state or federal government. We truly are on our own here, folks. This is why your financial support is critical. And please, don't think that your contribution won't make a difference. It is that sort of mentality that holds community radio stations back. Consider this: If every resident of the city of Geneva gave just a few dollars, we would have the money necessary to build our new LPFM station just as soon as we are issued a construction permit. That's right, just a few dollars. Surely, even in these tough economic times, you could spare that much to bring innovative radio to this community, could you not? If you answered yes to that question, then go to the Donate page of this site to find out how you can support Geneva Community Radio. And, to all those who donate, we say THANK YOU!
Let's start building this brand new radio station, and bring community powered radio to Geneva and the central Finger Lakes.

Radio Netherlands Worldwide to cease production of programs in English.
According to an article published on the Radio Netherlands Worldwide website entitled We're Changing, RNW will cease all English language programming at the end of June. This is the result of steep budget cuts imposed by the Dutch government, along with changes to RNW's mandate.
We at Geneva Community Radio deeply regret this development, as we've been carrying RNW programming since our inception. Unfortunately, it's a situation we have no control over as an RNW affiliate.
As you might expect, this will lead to many changes in our program schedule. We have decided to go ahead with the changes immediately, introducing several exciting new programs to our lineup, and time shifting several other shows that are already part of our schedule.
In the next few days, a new schedule will be posted, complete with all the changes. We hope you will find the new programming to be entertaining and informative. As always, your feedback as listeners is very important to us. Let us know what programs you'd like to hear, and when you'd like to hear them. After all, this station belongs to the community. Your opinions matter! E-mail us at genevaradio@yahoo.com with your thoughts and ideas.
Thanks for listening, and for supporting community radio in the central Finger Lakes.
GCR, Geneva Community Radio!
November 2, 2011
Schedule Changes
Recently, GCR was notified in writing by Deutsche Welle Radio that several of their long-running programs would be cancelled as they make changes to their broadcasting strategy. We regret this situation as we have carried all of these programs since our inception nearly one year ago. Unfortunately, it is a situation that we have absolutely no control over.
The following programs are no longer offered by DW Radio:
Newslink/Newslink Plus
European Business Week
Arts on the Air
Inspired Minds
All other DW programs will remain on GCR at their usual times.
Naturally, this has forced us to make several schedule changes. All of these changes, including the addition of some new programs, are reflected in the updated program schedule on this website.
We do not anticipate any more schedule changes in the near future. As always, though, all programming on Geneva Community Radio may be subject to change at any time, for a variety of reasons.
We apologize for any inconvenience these unexpected schedule changes may have caused. Any questions or comments should be directed to genevaradio@yahoo.com, or by phone at 315-759-5178

We're Back!
After several delays, and making all the necessary upgrades to our main computer after getting it back from the repair shop, it gives me great pleasure to announce that Geneva Community Radio has finally returned to the air.
Our thanks to our listeners, programmers, and supporters for their words of encouragement, and for their patience. Now, let us hope this doesn't happen again!
