The WBAA Classical 101.3 and WBAA News 105.9 tower will be undergoing major work starting on March 7th to enhance and strengthen the tower. The work is expected to continue until approximately March 30th. Most of the work will be done while the stations are at full power, but there will be times where we will need to reduce power or be off the air so that crews can work safely. We thank you for your patience while this work is completed. You can still listen to WBAA Classical and WBAA News online or via the WBAA mobile app.

In the new documentary “The Will To See,” writer and filmmaker Bernard-Henri Levy goes to places around the world where war and human suffering go on, even when the rest of the world doesn’t notice.

Those places include Nigeria, Syrian Kurdistan, Libya, Somalia, and the Donbas region of Ukraine, where a battle with Russian-backed separatists had been ongoing for years before the full Russian invasion began in February.

“The Will To See” is directed by Levy and Marc Roussel. It opens in theaters on April 29.
