WITF-FM is a public radio station based in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, located on the FM dial at 89.5 MHz. The station debuted April 1, 1971, airing classical music and NPR news throughout central Pennsylvania, including the Susquehanna Valley, which includes Lancaster, Lebanon and York as well as Harrisburg. It is a sister station to the area's PBS member station, WITF-TV. Both stations are based at the WITF Public Media Center in Swatara Township. WITF's reporting has been honored with six national Edward R. Murrow Awards from the Radio Television Digital News Association. In December 2012 (the station won the DuPont-Columbia Award ) - considered the broadcast equivalent of the Pulitzer Prize - for its ("StateImpact Pennsylvania" project ), which covers natural gas drilling. WITF operates at 5,900 watts ERP, which is fairly low for an NPR station. This may be due to the crowded state of the noncommercial end of the FM band in this part of the country, as well as the need to protect WPFW in Washington, D.C. at nearby 89.3, and WTMD in Towson, Maryland at 89.7. To make up for the shortfall in coverage, the station's programming can also be heard on low-powered translator W260CC at 99.9 FM in Lancaster, and on full-power station WYPM 93.3 in Chambersburg. After airing a mix of classical music and NPR programming for much of its history, WITF-FM dropped all classical music programming on June 25, 2012 in favor of an all-news format. Besides national and international news from NPR, it also airs local features from its own news team. The station also features regular Arts & Culture segments spotlighting local music, visual arts, theatre, museums literature and more. Highlights of the broadcast schedule include: * NPR's Morning Edition, weekdays, 5 a.m. to 9 a.m., featuring local host Tim Lambert * Radio Smart Talk, a local call-in show that presents current issues from a local perspective, weekdays, 9 a.m. to 10 a.m., and weeknights, 7 p.m. to 8 p.m.,hosted by Scott LaMar. * NPR’s Here & Now, weekdays 12 p.m. to 2 p.m., featuring local host Joe Ulrich * APM's The Story, weekdays 2 p.m. to 3 p.m., featuring local host Cary Burkett * NPR's Fresh Air, weekdays, 3 p.m. to 4 p.m. featuring local host Cary Burkett * NPR's All Things Considered, weekdays, 4 p.m. to 6:30 p.m., featuring local host Tim Lambert. ==External links== *(WITF official website ) * * 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「WITF-FM」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
