WXPN, the nationally-recognized leader in Triple A (Album Adult Alternative) music and a noncommercial radio service of the University of Pennsylvania today announced a partnership to create a weekly radio show with Daytrotter, a critically acclaimed art and music website based in Rock Island, Illinois. The new show, “Daytrotter Radio,” will premier May 7th at 10:30pm on WXPN and will be hosted by Daytrotter founder Sean Moeller.
“Daytrotter Radio” is a weekly 30 minute program featuring the unique recording sessions that have made Daytrotter one of the most popular online music destinations. In addition to broadcasting on WXPN throughout the Delaware Valley and Central PA, the radio show will be available via online streaming at the station’s three websites (XPN.org, YRockOnXPN.org, and Daytrotter).
“Daytrotter has an excellent reputation for providing music fans with these very cool and unique performances by some of the best well-known and up and coming indie bands,” stated Bruce Warren, WXPN Assistant GM for Programming. “We're excited to be able to make these Daytrotter sessions easily accessible to the XPN and Y-Rock On XPN listeners on some new media platforms.”
“All of us -- that's read as all four of us -- here at Daytrotter headquarters spend considerable time listening to David Dye's World Cafe program, remarking on how our adopted friends in White Rabbits or Langhorne Slim sound as they're getting interviewed by the man,” said Sean Moeller, founder of Daytrotter. “We've got tremendous respect for what WXPN does for musicians and we're thrilled to be able to share some of their air, bringing our unique analog recordings to a bigger audience."
