The Gaelic League has always supported an Irish radio program. In 1997, they became solely responsible for the show on WNZK. Today they continue to be financially supportive along with many donors. In 2016, the program received non profit status 501(c)(3). This program depends on the support of its listeners. Donations are welcome.
The show is a combination of Irish music, news, and announcements. Often guests in the studio and call-ins add to the program. Occasionally, shows are broadcast LIVE from local Irish events. All are welcome to share news.

100th Anniversary News
The Covid19 restrictions may have postponed many of our 100th Anniversary events but it hasn’t restricted or discouraged our committee. We continue to plan for our exhibit at the Detroit Historical Museum which has been rescheduled for the Fall of 2021. Our exhibit reflects the impact of Irish immigrants to Michigan, the establishment of the Gaelic League in 1920 and how our aims and objectives are being achieved throughout the century. If you or a family member have served as President of the Gaelic League/Irish-American Club we could use your HELP. We will be displaying photos of our past presidents along with year/years served, birthplace, and a significant GL/IAC event that occurred during while president. Any information you can provide is greatly appreciated. Contact the 100th Anniversary Committee by email: GaelicLeagueDetroit@gmail.com
