specialty shows

live at wrek

airs tuesday 10 p.m. - 11 pm.

Every Tuesday, we herd a bunch of degenerates that like to play instruments simultaneously near each other and have the cajones to call themselves a band into the studio and let them do their thing. Sometimes the results are so good that it makes cleaning up afterwards worth it.

Over forty hours of WREK's weekly programming is dedicated to specialty shows, programs that allow a host to explore a particular genre of music. Typically airing in the evening, these shows are the gems of the WREK schedule, and some have been airing continuously for over a decade.

WREK has specialty shows focusing on ska, talk radio, new wave, classic rock, reggae, classical, Tech Sports, hip-hop, blues, world musics, experimental, electronic, heavy metal, industrial, radio drama, soul, funk and quite a few different types of jazz.
