The Saturday Light Brigade is an educational public radio program for children and adults, broadcast from 6 to noon each Saturday.

The Saturday Light Brigade has long been recognized for its innovative approach in delivering high-quality content.  Originating from studios in the Children’s Museum of Pittsburgh and hosted by public radio veteran Larry Berger, the program features a blend of high-quality folk and acoustic music, live performances and interactive puzzles designed to elicit on-air phone calls from people of all ages.  Children listen with adults, adults listen with children, and everyone has fun together.

Coverage Area and Audience
The Saturday Light Brigade airs across a 16-county network covering Allegheny, Armstrong, Butler, Clarion, Clearfield, Forest, Indiana, Jefferson, Lawrence, Mercer, Muskingum (Ohio), Venango, Washington and portions of Beaver, Crawford and Westmoreland counties with webcasts at slbradio.org.

SLB has a loyal following that includes children, parents, and people who value arts, education and community.  While SLB serves a broad community, SLB affiliate stations are aligned with colleges and universities and, as such, have deep ties to their respective communities, including those of Carnegie Mellon University, Washington & Jefferson College, Grove City College, Indiana University of Pennsylvania, Clarion University of Pennsylvania and Muskingum College.

  • Remote broadcasts, during which SLB will create a studio space within a facility and broadcast live from the event.  Remote broadcasts can only be done from events that are sponsored by non-profit organizations, free, and and open to the public.  Technical requirements include (1) a 15-amp, 120V grounded electrical outlet, (2) indoor or tent-covered location, (3) access to an analog (fax) telephone line and (4) access to Internet via WiFi or direct connection.  Because remote broadcasts require significant labor and expenses, a minimum fee of $2,500 applies.  This fee can often be paid by a corporate underwriter of the event or broadcast.  Remote broadcasts must be scheduled at least 16 weeks in advance.
  • SLB Appearances, during which we will entertain kids and adults at your event via (1) a stage show of interactive puzzles and word games or (2) an interactive digital audio booth (featuring special effects, recording opportunities and other activities).  Fees for these appearances are $375 for the first hour and $100 for each additional hour.  Discounts are available for nonprofit organizations.  Appearances should be booked at least 4 weeks in advance.
    • Additional information is available by contacting Larry Berger at 412.586.6300 x 1 or larry at slbradio dot org.]]>     http://slbradio.org/schedule-a-remote-broadcast-or-appearance/feed 0
