Radio Waves: WCUW Makes Some Key Leadership Changes as Station Changes

Christine Hochkeppel/Telegram & Gazette File Photo

(from Worcester Magazine, Jan 14, 2026) There have been some key staff changes behind the dial at WCUW Community Radio 91.3 FM as 2026 gets underway, including longtime executive director Troy Tyree transitioning to a new role as part-time programming director for the radio station.

“Troy has given his heart and soul to WCUW for more than 15 years as its only paid staff member,” WCUW said in a statement to the Telegram & Gazette.

Now there are three paid part-time staff. Joining Tyree are Steve Blake, who has volunteered at WCUW for many years, as general manager, and Laura Lenis as WCUW’s membership consultant.

Scott Hayman, clerk of the WCUW board of directors, said “the board credits Troy with shepherding WCUW through many of its lean times, especially COVID, and for his vision for the now very successful FrontRoom, a venue for weekly live music and Cinema Worcester … while managing all the station’s broadcasting and administration, Troy worked tirelessly to keep the 910 Main Street facility in shape on a shoestring budget.”

Friday, January 16, thru Sunday, January 18: Cinema Worcester at the Frontroom Presents “Father Mother Sister Brother”

Cinema Worcester in conjunction with the WCUW Frontroom presents “Father Mother Sister Brother”, a film by Jim Jarmusch.

Estranged siblings reunite after years apart, forced to confront unresolved tensions and reevaluate their strained relationships with their emotionally distant parents.

Father Mother Sister Brother is a feature film, though carefully constructed in the form of a triptych. The three stories all concern the relationships between adult children, their somewhat distant parent (or parents), and each other. Each of the three chapters takes place in the present, and each in a different country.

“In ‘Father Mother Sister Brother,’ family can be hell, but the only thing worse is when they’re no longer with us.” – Tim Grierson, Los Angeles Times



“Offers the familiar family hang — one that’s authentically awkward, funny, and tragic.” – Mashable

Run time is 1 hour and 50 minutes. R (Language).

Showtimes: Friday, January 16, 7 pm; Saturday January 10, 1 pm; and Sunday, January 18, 1 pm.

Tickets $13.58 general admission, $11.44 senior/student with ID, $10.38 for WCUW members (processing fees included). Purchase tickets online.



The WCUW Frontroom is located at 910 Main St., Worcester MA. Parking in the Clark University lot across the street, or on the street.

Saturday, January 17: Troy Mercy at the Frontroom

Winner of the 2024/25 Boston Blues Challenge: Troy Mercy returns to the WCUW Frontroom!

Troy Mercy is an electrifying Blues power-duo with a Rock & Roll heart. He has toured as guitarist with The Fabulous Thunderbirds, and Booker T. Jones.

For this show, Troy will be on vocal, guitar, and harmonica, with Harrison Foti on drums.

“The power-duo format has brought me to life. I kinda need a lot to do musically or I just end up chewing on furniture, you know? Stripping things down to just voice, guitar, drums, gives me the most immediate emotional connection between my singing and guitar playing. There are no presets. I can steer the whole thing right off the edge of the world if I want to. Or play something pretty too.”

“This duo is like Lightnin’ Hopkins playing with The Small Faces while David Lynch films it.” -Alan Smithee

One of The Worcester Guardian’s five picks for things to do in Worcester this weekend!

Showtime: Saturday, January 17, 7:00 pm. Doors open at 6:30 pm. Tickets $15 cash or Venmo at the door.

Light refreshments will be served. Or, visit Fantastic Pizza/Grub Guru next door for pizza, Indian food, and more, to eat-in or to bring back.



The WCUW Frontroom is located at 910 Main St., Worcester MA. Parking in the Clark University lot across the street, or on the street.

Saturday, January 17: Troy Mercy at the Frontroom

Winner of the 2024/25 Boston Blues Challenge: Troy Mercy returns to the WCUW Frontroom!

Troy Mercy is an electrifying Blues power-duo with a Rock & Roll heart. He has toured as guitarist with The Fabulous Thunderbirds, and Booker T. Jones.

For this show, Troy will be on vocal, guitar, and harmonica, with Harrison Foti on drums.

“The power-duo format has brought me to life. I kinda need a lot to do musically or I just end up chewing on furniture, you know? Stripping things down to just voice, guitar, drums, gives me the most immediate emotional connection between my singing and guitar playing. There are no presets. I can steer the whole thing right off the edge of the world if I want to. Or play something pretty too.”



“This duo is like Lightnin’ Hopkins playing with The Small Faces while David Lynch films it.” -Alan Smithee

Showtime: Saturday, January 17, 7:00 pm. Doors open at 6:30 pm. Tickets $15 cash or Venmo at the door.

Light refreshments will be served. Or, visit Fantastic Pizza/Grub Guru next door for pizza, Indian food, and more, to eat-in or to bring back.

The WCUW Frontroom is located at 910 Main St., Worcester MA. Parking in the Clark University lot across the street, or on the street.
