[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Again, WAMU is not experiencing "demise." It is not troubled. They are actually hiring.

They are shuttering DCist, which is a significant change and is regulating in nearly 20 staffers being laid off. DCist was never really successful for them financially, and the station itself already requires a lot of funding, so it just did not make sense to continue to run it if it wasn't generating substantive ad revenue, which it wasn't. They may still publish some written content to the WAMU site. But the focus will be on on-air content, as it was before the acquisition of DCist in 2018.[/quote]

Thanks for chiming in, Erika Pully Hayes.[/quote]

I'm the PP and don't work for WAMU, I just actually read the article about the situation which explained they are closing DCist but actually adding staff positions at WAMU. Sounds like by getting rid of DCist they are freeing up funding for on-air content.

So no, not in "demise."

This thread is funny though. I had no idea how many angry suburbanites needed an opportunity to explain how much they hate public radio. Hope y'all feel better I guess.[/quote]

Seriously.  They are not closing down.  You guys just hate them.  Apparently a lot.[/quote]
