Portsmouth Community Radio 106.1 FM will devote special programming to the 10th anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks and to honor the victims.

Five programs will participate in the broadcasts over six days beginning Thursday, Sept. 8.

Anita Croteau, host of “This ‘n’ That With Anita” (Thursday, 3-5 p.m.) will devote her program to music commemorating 9/11, including “Angels and Heaven,” and honoring the first responders, some of whom now have illnesses as a result of being at Ground Zero on the day of the attacks and in their aftermath.

On Friday, “Radiogazette” (9-10 a.m.), hosted by Ann Haggart, the station’s news and public affairs director, will follow the story of two Seacoast colleagues and their families as the events of 9/11 affected their lives that day. Ellen Fitzpatrick, a University of New Hampshire professor of history and a scholar specializing in modern American political history, will join Haggart in a live discussion of the historical perspective of 9/11. As a presidential historian, Fitzpatrick often appears on the “PBS Newshour.”

Haggart will also interview Ken Feinberg, distributor of the 9/11 Fund, who will speak of the strength he drew on to complete his difficult task. Radiogazette will end with a poem written by a Seacoast author to commemorate the tragedy of that day.

On Sunday, Susan Tuveson, host of “Classical Combinations” (8-10 a.m.), will broadcast the Duruflé Requiem, as well as various works by American composers, in honor of the memory of 9/11′s victims and their survivors.

Also Sunday, PCR Music Director Angelynne Hinson, and frequent host of “Operaworks Radio” (5-7 p.m.), will air a special two-hour program. The first hour will feature “9/11: A Tribute At Dusk,” an original production created by Alexandra Borrie in September and October 2001. The second hour will broadcast Nils Lindberg’s “Jazz Requiem” and Stephen Hartke’s “Pacific Rim.”

On Sunday’s “The Free Speech Zone” (7-9 p.m.) host Brad Carr (“Big Brother”) will direct his attention to controversy: “While National Public Radio announces that ‘the facts of 9-11 are indisputable,’ at least half of all Americans do not believe the official narrative of that day and the events surrounding this attack on our country,” Carr said.

On “The Burt Cohen Show” (Tuesday, noon-1 p.m.), Cohen’s first guest will be Marjorie Cohn, President of the National Lawyers Guild and professor at the Thomas Jefferson School of Law, who will address how our rights have been affected by the reaction to the attacks of 9/11. During the second half of the show, from 12:30 to 1 p.m., Republican presidential candidate Gary Johnson, former governor of New Mexico, will discuss how our constitutional rights have been infringed upon since 9/11 and what might be done.

The programs will be available in archive form at portsmouthcommunityradio.org for two weeks following their broadcasts. For details, visit portsmouthcommunityradio.org.
