Good Monday Morning, Fred here. I hope everyone had a good weekend.
Last Friday we had some severe network issues that continues to prevent KRPS from airing live shows. As a result I've scheduled five hours working of special programming this morning from 5 to 10 am.
5 - 6 am - Road To Rickwood from NPR member station New Orleans Public Radio.
On June 20 2024, Major League Baseball will host a regular season game at Rickwood Field in Birmingham, Alabama. But the 114-year-old stadium has a long and complicated history.
6 - 8 am - We'll air two-hours of music and songs remembering and appreciating Veterans. Host Paul Ingles presents songs from Johnny Cash, Steve Earle, Bruce Springsteen, Guy Clark, Judy Collins, Mary Gauthier and many more in this heart-felt salute to veterans of all wars.
8 - 9 am - A replay of Road To Rickwood, instead you weren't up at 5 am.
9 - 10 am - A special episode from The Pulse: Conversations with Veterans.
There are 19 million veterans in the U.S. who have served in the armed forces. For many, the military gave them a sense of shared purpose, a strong connection to their comrades. But that community often disappears when they get out of the service, leaving many feeling alone, or misunderstood.
I hope to have our network issues resolved later this morning and return to normal programming. I'll update our Facebook when we get there.
Thanks for your continued patience.
