On Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, East End public radio station WPPB 88.3 FM has a holiday lineup planned including both locally produced and national broadcasts.

WPPB personalities Bonnie Grice, Brian Cosgrove and Ed German each host specials with their favorite holiday music. Laurence Maslon presents the Broadway to Main Street holiday special. The radio station will rebroadcast its 2011 A Christmas Carol radio play and will debut its newly recorded It’s a Wonderful Life radio adaptation performed at Suffolk Theater in Riverhead with local actors.

Stephen Michael Fearing, the new pastor of Shelter Island Presbyterian Church, will present a Christmas Eve message.
