Morning Becomes Eclectic

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Morning Becomes Eclectic (MBE) is a three-hour adult album alternative (triple-A) radio program first aired in 1977 and broadcast live every weekday from KCRW in Santa Monica, California. Nic Harcourt has hosted the program since 1998. Previously it was hosted by Tom Schnabel (July 1979 - November 1990) and then Chris Douridas (1990 - 1998). ^[1] The program was created by Isabel Holt.

The show is repeated twice on KCRW's music webcast, and live performances are also sometimes available as audio and video podcasts. Typically, the show features two or three live performances each week during the last hour of the day's broadcast.

Sounds Eclectic, a two-hour mix of the week's MBE output, is broadcast by KCRW on Sundays and syndicated by Public Radio International. The show's name is a play on the Eugene O'Neill trilogy of plays, Mourning Becomes Electra.
