Feb. 20 | This Week's WKAR Highlights!

You may have noticed that WKAR.org is going through a redesign! Our new design will offer additional ways to watch, listen, share and engage with WKAR Public Media.

The site will continue to grow and evolve throughout 2012. We look forward to your feedback!

A few event and programming notes --

Join our Twitter chats, Thursday nights at 10 p.m. during "BackStage Pass" and tweet your take on the show! This week, The Lash brings their Celtic rock to the stage. Use the hashtag #BSPwkar (and don't forget our BackStage Pass Facebook page!).

WKAR Radio is covering the action leading up to Super Tuesday. Be sure to check out reports on school bond and the presidential candidates on the stump in their reports. If you miss hearing them on "Morning Edition" or "All Things Considered," you can find them at WKAR.org!
