WFMT Opera Series 2008

A NOTE ABOUT START TIMES AND DURATION:

To the best of our knowledge, all the stations listed here start their broadcasts of the WFMT Opera
Series at GMT 1700/EDT 1:00PM. However, many of these staions still list a later start time on their
schedule pages. If we learn that any of the stations do actually start later, we will move them
back to the appropriate time slot on our Saturday schedule page.

Most stations carry this series at 3 hours and 30 minutes, but several have a longer duration, and probably air operatic filler after the WFMT Opera is over. Those stations that list the duration
as 3 hours may trim intermission material to fit the opera within their time slot.

 

Links are given for the highest speed/quality audio stream and to available high-fidelity alternative audio streams. For more information about any station on this list, visit our STATIONS PAGE. When you are finished with this page, CLOSE THIS WINDOW to return to the schedule page you came from.
