Saturday Light Brigade
*****Welcome*****
Now in its 30th year, The Saturday Light
Brigade is a radio program that celebrates our region's people, music and sense
of community. A mix of puzzles, acoustic music, live performance and
on-air phone calls creates an environment in which kids listen with adults,
adults listen with kids, and everyone has fun listening to the radio together!

inexpensive and direct way of showing that your organization or family supports
quality programming for youth and families. Underwriters receive on-air
acknowledgements reaching people in 15 Pennsylvania counties as well as
