[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People here are so ridiculous. We live in an incredibly diverse region. Yes, coverage can be about race. WAMU has struggled for YEARS! Also, every single black show has always been cancelled on WAMU so give me a break so diversity has not been the culprit of its demise. [/quote] Black politics and culture, particularly in DC, but not exclusively, has been a cornerstone of WAMU coverage for decades. It was the new age DEI tone that has taken a toll. Derek McGinty didn’t get canceled, he got a new job. Kojo didn’t get canceled, he’s still on the air but retired from the daily production. They may have cancelled other black hosts, but they have like 5 shows left, one is a weekly with Kojo and (both black). 2 are weekend evening shows (1 hosted by a white jew and 1 a non Jew white guy). The last is a daily production, 1A, hosted by a black lady, so I have no idea what you are talking about. Are you seriously pissed that on Saturday nights WAMU produces 3 hours of programming in-house that has a white guy as host? [/quote]
