Note: There are some glitches in the recording that were inherent in the FM broadcast. The glitches seem to be related to the station's use of a computer for recording or processing that seems to get overwhelmed or overloaded, possibly from an overloaded processor, a too-slow hard-drive or a fragmented drive. The glitches sound sort of like a single note repeating itself over the space of a fraction of a second.

There is also some slight FM-reception static. WWOZ has been upgrading their transmitter and over the past few months have attributed the reception issues to having to use an alternate antenna/transmission site during the upgrade.
