Classics (Monday - Friday, 6:00am - 9:00am)From dead white guys to composers who are none of these, the classics gives the Atlanta listening audience the best in classical music. We don't talk about it, we just play it.
Just Jazz (Monday - Friday, 9:00am - 12:00pm)Music that would make Kenny G ill. Jazz music encompassing everything from big band classics to straight ahead swing to cutting edge improvisation. From Louis Armstrong to Sun Ra, you'll hear it all on Just Jazz.
Blue Plate Special (Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, 12:00pm - 1:00pm)A diverse mixture of everything we have here at WREK. Essentially bringing Weekend Cornucopia to the weekday, except with Rock, Rhythm and Roll thrown in.

WREK HD2 ON AIR!
The second channel's format is under development and is currently an automated mix of all of WREK's formats. In the future, we will be developing new programming for the subchannel and a way to air programs that are pre-empted by sports broadcasts. In addition, we hope to provide the same web functionality for the new channel that we have for our main channel, including the two week running archive. This new technology is offering us many new opportunities to share great music and get the word out about the great things going on at Georgia Tech; we are just beginning to explore the extent of our capabilities. We would specifically like to thank the Georgia Tech community for their support in our upgrade to this new technology. All those who worked hard to set up the sub-channel and those working to bring this project to its full fruition deserve many special thanks as well. Without the support of the Georgia Tech campus and our wonderful staff, this would still be a dream. We would love to hear your ideas, comments, and criticisms of the new channel; send them to us and we will be sure to get back to you!
FCC Approves Upcoming WREK Power Increase
Our new transmitter gave us half of what we need to complete this upgrade. We have not yet begun the hard work of preparing our tower for, designing, and constructing the new antenna we need, though.
Thanks go to alumni Matt Wesolowski, General Manager of WYAB in Jackson, MS, and Thomas Hildebrandt, patent attorney at the local firm Thomas | Kayden, for their assistance with all of the complex regulatory and engineering work required to accomplish this feat.
