WNYC commenced in 1924 with an ambitious task: to unite a city and be 'the voice of New York', said Timothy Wilkins, Chair of the New York Public Radio Board of Trustees. We enter a new century embracing the challenge of reflecting the voices of all New Yorkers-across our local reporting, live radio shows and podcasts, and coverage of the culture and communities we serve.
At 8:30pm on July 8, the Empire State Building will light up in red as Brian Lehrer throws an on-air birthday party with WNYC's Archivist Andy Lanset, playing audio clips from across WNYC history, including a reenactment of its first broadcast at 8:54pm.
