On Wednesday, New York Public Radio, home of WNYC and WQXR, hosted its annual gala celebrating WNYC’s 100 years on the air. The centennial event paid tribute to WNYC’s century of service, from its origins as New York’s first City-run radio station to its transformation into an independent, listener-supporter public radio station and global leader in audio storytelling. The event, held at The Glasshouse, was hosted by Seth Meyers. Notable attendees included special guests Meryl Streep, Julia Stiles, Rosie Perez, John Turturro, Samantha Bee, Jason Jones, and more. The evening honored the Leon Levy Foundation, which enabled the digitization of WNYC’s archives through a generous $2.5M contribution — ensuring access to historical documents, recordings, and photographs that chronicle the institution’s public engagement and role in New York City’s history since 1924. Pictures from the event have been added to the photo gallery.
