Eclectopia
Fridays 10pm & Saturdays 11pm
From the Greek, ekekltikos meaning to select, and topia meaning place, Eclectopia is the place for eclectic contemporary music in West Virginia.
One kind listener remarked that host Jim Lange is "the mad scientist of cool music." Josh Gaffin, of WTSQ, remarked, "When I first moved here from New York, I was glad to know something this cool existed."
