Mountain Stage
Saturdays from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m.
Mountain Stage is a radio show produced by West Virginia Public Broadcasting. It is a two-hour music show taped before a live audience, usually in the Cultural Center in Charleston, WV, although it travels to other venues in the United States and Canada several times each year. It has been on the air since 1983. The program showcases very diverse music, from the traditional to the brand new, from roots music to jazz.
