Access Hour

The Access Hour is WORT's commitment to community access to the airwaves. For one out of every 168 broadcast hours each week, we turn the airwaves over to a member of the public to program on their own. That hour is every Monday night from 7 to 8pm.

The views expressed on the Access Hour do not represent the views of the station, its staff, programmers, or the Board of Directors.  

Assistance is provided with recording a promotional announcement to be aired the week prior to the show and with sound board engineering the night of the show. In order to keep the show accessible, any individual or group is limited to one show per year. The Access Hour is often booked several months in advance.

To sign up to host an Access Hour show, please fill out our online form. You can reach Access Hour producer Ken Rineer at (608) 256-2001 on Monday evenings or by email at: accesshour@wortfm.org.
