The #Grifters running #Amerikkka are calling public media a grift! Probably because they embrace DEI and aren't afraid to criticize the #Fascist administration! This will not only cripple or destroy #PublicTelevision stations, #CommunityRadio like #WMPG also receives money from the #CPB!!!

White House calls #NPR and #PBS a “grift,” will ask Congress to rescind funding

By Jon Brodkin, April 15, 2025

Excerpt: "In a statement provided to Ars today, PBS CEO Paula Kerger said that 'the effort underway to get Congress to rescind public media funding would disrupt the essential service PBS and local member stations provide to the American people. There's nothing more American than PBS, and our work is only possible because of the bipartisan support we have always received from Congress... Without PBS member stations, Americans will lose unique local programming and emergency services in times of crisis.' "

[Thread] So, it took having to do a search on the website, but I managed to find the #BlackHistoryMonth audio archives on the #WMPG website. Hopefully, the ones from 2025 will also be posted on their website (and the ones already posted won't disappear...).

[Thread] So, I noticed that #WMPG hasn't made a big deal about #BlackHistoryMonth features like they have in the past. However, #OnTheAir, they have mentioned it a lot! I've managed to catch a few of the Black History month-themed shows, and will be posting set lists and links to the audio archives (which will be available for 5 weeks after airdate). Screenshot is from a past Black History Month web page...

Graphic includes a black fist with the words: Black History Month Black History Month Highlights at WMPG February is Black History month, and with that in mind, WMPG will be broadcasting special shows with featured guest artists and additional on-air content throughout February. This is supplementing our usual programming with the specific focus of highlighting the art, lived experiences, and perspectives of the Black community. Some of our programming highlights for the month of February which will focus on the Black experience and music by Black artists include:
