The Morning Express Team: Darrell, Dick, Brian, and Sara

Whether you've been tuning in to WUMB for twenty years, or if you've just discovered us on your dial, welcome to The Morning Express radio show! Each weekday between 6am and 10am, a featured announcer joins veteran host Dick Pleasants to bring you the best in radio programming. The Morning Express was created around a few core principals that are rooted in both tradition and innovation. With each show, we strive to balance a global outlook with a local perspective, the unique music our listeners' have always come to expect with newer music from fresh faces and out-of-the-way places, and a variety of informative, educational features with music news, almanacs, and interviews.

If you enjoy what you hear, please consider supporting WUMB!
