The Midnight Special is one of the most enduring syndicated folk music radio programs from the WFMT Radio Network. Established in Chicago on 98.7 WFMT-FM in 1953, the program went national in 1971. It has stayed current through decades of change, rich in tradition and history while retaining its timeliness, delighting listeners throughout the world with gentle irreverence or touching them with candid observation.
