I love WAMU local news coverage, politics hour, etc.  but the agenda that the replacements for Kojo and Diane Rehm had was just too much.  Everything had to talk about trans or race or social justice.  I’m fine with insightful discussions of those topics, even if I disagree with the views discussed - but it was constant and to the exclusion of other interesting topics that used to only be covered (well) by WAMU and then didn’t get covered at all.  I was so happy when they restarted dcist but they didn’t pull much of that work through to be on the air.[/quote]

+1.

I started noticing it when they dropped (or dramatically reduced) coverage of 'conventional' sports like the Nats and Redskins in favor of women's basketball and European soccer. It was like they gave the reins to a queer college student. Sure, a queer college student's perspective is as valid as any other person's, but they speak to a much smaller audience.[/quote]
