(I hope it will be there after broadcasting.)
This special one-hour show will air on Thursday, July 21st at 8pm on 93.9FM WNYC - the actual anniversary of his 100th birthday.
Sara Fishko also did a piece on McLuhan for her Fishko Files that aired on July 15. You can listen to it here:

And there's an article on our Culture page about McLuhan as well:

Hope that's enough for all you McLuhan fans!
Ugh, I missed the special!
Did WNYC even promote it? (I didn't hear anything this week).
Will WNYC be rebroadcasting it?
I'm guessing it will be the 21st, his actual birthday. I met him and had a great conversation with him once - it would be great to be listening to him now! He was amazing
Right now the medium is disappointing me.
it is 8.00pm Thursday Quatorze Juillet.
so what happened to McLuhan?
