Let me see if I understand this correctly.
You sign a deal with an organization that you know is "people of color" challenged. You know the audience matches the people heading the organization. Then, you quit after your first contract is up?
We had agreed on the destination we were to arrive at, but somewhere along the line NPR wavered in the journey. Our show is the most multiracial in NPR's entire history, it has the youngest demographic of any show in NPR's history, so progress was being made. My concern was the pace the network was moving at-- it wasn't fast enough.
Uhhh....
Kneee. Grow. Please.
Respect on what he did at NPR.
Because I wanted to hear the show, I tuned in to WEAA. It is Morgan University's radio station. I knew it had jazz, but I was unfamiliar with it's talk programming.
They have some decent talk shows. Instead of listening to the jazz every now and then, I became hooked on the station's evening programming. Now I contribute money to the station.
I wonder how the end of Tavis' show will affect WEAA.
I read that Tavis might resign with NPR and I have to say I hope he does. I really enjoyed listening to his show on my way to work in the mornings.
