W K X L Radio Program

Thanks to the generous donation of programming time, the Concord Historical Society presents a monthly radio program called Crosscurrents of Change from the Concord Historical Society. It is broadcast live on the first Friday of each month from 11:08 AM to 12 Noon on W K X L 1450AM in Concord, and streamed live on the WKXL website, www.wkxl1450.com. The program is hosted by retired WKXL personality Gardner Hill, whose program, Coffee Chat, was a popular weekday morning feature on the station for more than a quarter century.
Again, thanks to the generosity of WKXL owner Gordon Humphrey (a member of the Concord Historical Society Board of Trustees) and the station staff, the programs in this series have been archived on the WKXL website and may be listened to anytime. Here is a list of the programs now archived on the site:
