What's on Tonight

Wide Angle Iraqi Exodus
	WIDE ANGLE reports from the front lines of the staggering refugee crisis that is unfolding in the Middle East as Iraqis flee their war-torn country at the rate of up to 50,000 people per month. Since the war began in 2003, more than four million Iraqi civilians have fled their homes, half of them becoming exiles in neighboring countries and the rest dislocated within Iraq’s borders. While headlines are dominated by the deadly sectarian violence engulfing Iraq, the refugee crisis, the biggest in the Middle East since the displacement of the Palestinians in l948, is all but ignored.
WIDE ANGLE goes to the heart of the crisis and explores the displaced Iraqi community in Syria, from the middle class suburbs where Iraqis have sent housing prices soaring to the cramped Damascus slums where one out of three residents is Iraqi-born. Anchor Aaron Brown speaks in Jordan with regional leaders about the impact of this catastrophe on the Middle East and what the future holds for Iraq’s lost generation. Airs Tuesday, August 19th at 8:00p.

Help Us Design Our New HD Radio Channels!

WNIN 88.3 has an exciting opportunity to add more of the content you want to hear from us! In order to make your public radio station more relevant to you, we’re asking for your help in programming a new content stream we will be offering very soon.

Here’s a little background on this new opportunity. WNIN 88.3 will begin broadcasting on our new digital transmitter later this summer. Unlike what you’re hearing these days about television, 88.3 WNIN will keep our current analog signal. That means you’ll still be able to hear NPR news and great music just as you always have at 88.3 on your FM radio receiver.

Tell Them Public Matters

For 2009 and 2010, the Administration has proposed cuts to public broadcast funding that, if enacted, would slash 56 percent of our annual budget.

With every dollar cut from the budget of public broadcasting, there is the potential of "one less." One less child who will learn to count with the characters of Sesame Street. One less rural community that will have access to the news, cultural and educational programming public radio and television provide. One less educational Web site available to our nation's schools.

When the funding is provided, what is accomplished is truly immeasurable. We can expand our local news coverage. Develop more programs like Capitol Hill Radio Unit, which have been such a success. We can continue to fund public television's Between the Lions and public radio's Heartland Chronicles. We can assure stations serving rural and minority communities that they will receive the funding they so desperately depend on. Read more...
