UABC to expand programming with new morning radio show

FORT LEE , N.J. - The Ukrainian American Broadcasting Co. (UABC) is expanding its programming by launching a new hourly, five-day-per-week live radio program in the metropolitan New York City area.

Called "This Morning with Us," the program will premiere Monday, December 1, at 8 a.m. on WNJR - 1430 AM. The program will be aired Monday to Friday, 8-9 a.m., and will reach Ukrainians from Queens and Brooklyn in the east to Hunterdon County, N.J., in the west, and from point Pleasant, N.J., in the south to Ramsey, N.J., and Yonkers, N.Y., in the north.

Xenia Piaseckyj will host the show, which will offer listeners an easygoing morning format consisting of bilingual newsbriefs, vignettes from Ukrainian life in Ukraine and the diaspora, music, a community calendar and listener participation.

"As the largest Ukrainian broadcast media outlet in the United States and Canada, we believe this radio program will enhance the UABC's efforts to serve the Ukrainian community by satisfying all of its information and entertainment needs," said Ihor Dlaboha, UABC director, in announcing the program's launch.

"The community calendar segment of our show will be offered free-of-charge to legitimate civic organizations to announce their upcoming events," Mr. Dlaboha continued.

He added that Ukrainian and non-Ukrainian businesses will also have an economical medium for advertising their goods and services to the entire New York metro community.

" 'This Morning with Us' is an addition to the UABC daily satellite-delivered radio network, which brings radio programs from Ukraine and the diaspora directly to our listeners' homes anywhere in North America," Mr. Dlaboha noted.

The UABC is an affiliate of the Ethnic-American Broadcasting Co., L.P., the leading distributor and producer of foreign-language radio and television programming in North America.
