Mourning Subtraction — WMUB Funding Cut

Day­ton is blessed with 2 pub­lic radio gems, WYSO 91.3, and WMUB 88.5.  These sta­tions pretty much cover the extent of my reg­u­lar FM radio lis­ten­ing.   WMUB fea­tures great pro­gram­ming from NPR, just like most pub­lic radio sta­tions, but also has great local shows like Free Advice,  The Help Desk, and WMUB Forum.  Most notably, WMUB has the one and only Mama Jazz, who spins clas­sic and con­tem­po­rary jazz music for your lis­ten­ing plea­sure every night of the week.  Unfor­tu­nately, at least in the short term, Miami Uni­ver­sity is cut­ting back on the fund­ing it pro­vides the sta­tion.  I hope that this will not mark the end of the sta­tion, but sim­ply a shift in strat­egy for the future.  While I am not sure what the future will hold for the sta­tion, I am sure that I hope it will con­tinue to deliver the great pro­gram­ming that I enjoy so much.   I encour­age you to give the sta­tion a lis­ten, and get involved as this sit­u­a­tion unfolds so that this trea­sure is kept on the airwaves.
