World Cafe
Monday - Friday at 6:00 pm
World Cafe launched on October 14, 1991. KNBA has carried the program since we signed-on October 11, 1996. The two-hour daily program features a mix of artist interviews with in-studio performances by both established and emerging artists. The music selection encompasses singer-songwriters, classic rock, indie rock, Americana, alt-country, blues, world music, R&B and soul. As the nation’s most listened-to public radio music program, its impact on the careers and audience awareness of thousands of artists is immeasurable.
