After acquiring Public News/Talk “Peconic Public Broadcasting” 88.3 WPPB Southampton NY last fall, New York City area public television operator WNET Group has relaunched the station as 88.3 WLIW-FM.
The rebranding matches the call letters of co-owned WLIW-TV 21, which has served as Long Island’s Public Television outlet since 1969. The station will continue to feature local programs such as Morning Edition Long Island Local News with Michael Mackey, Heart of the East End with Gianna Volpe, The Afternoon Ramble with Brian Cosgrove, The Urban Jazz Experience and Friday Night Soul with Ed German, Media Mavens with Gianna Volpe, Broadway to Main Street, but has revamped its schedule to include additional national NPR shows.
