WGMC is a listener-supported station out of Rochester, NY, broadcasting on the 90.1 FM frequency and streaming on the Internet at www.jazz901.org. On air, the station is identified as Jazz 90.1 in reference to its FM frequency. WGMC specializes in all styles of Jazz, but is also an important outlet for music and voices that don't make it onto commercial radio. WGMC's longest-running show is Polka Bandstand.
