Thread Name: WDET cancels folk and bluegrass shows
Subject: RE: WDET cancels folk and bluegrass shows
I spoke with Matt this morning. Hang tight, he is working on things.

As to withholding funds from WDET, do that if this and their general outlook make you believe that they are not the station for you. I sent them money in response to their reinstating the Folks Like Us show. I won't be doing that again, but not just because of this. It is because they seem to want to appeal to "40 year olds who want to act like they are still 20 year olds". Note the quotes. I won't tell you who I am quoting, just that I am quoting. This station does not reflect my public radio tastes any longer.

By the way, they let him do a final show. One of the songs that he played was Utah Phillips "Talking NPR Blues". Nice shot, Matt!!

As to Matt, hang tight. A strategy will pop soon enough.


All the best,

Mick
