WMNF has 65 hours of prime time programming and only 3 of those hours are by programmers of Color (African Americans and Muslim Americans).
The News program has been cut to 15 minutes and 5 of those are dedicated to NPR. How can we realistically cover a diverse community of some 4 million people with such little time?
We are demanding a one hour program with 5 minute reports on the environment, People of Color, housing/homelessness, foreclosures, poverty/food distribution, immigration, women's issues, etc.
We are also demanding integration of the staff of 15 with only two People of Color. Thank you for your support!
