"North Carolina Public Radio - WUNC"

"North Carolina Public Radio - WUNC"

The home page reports that $855,000 was rasied during the pledge drive that concluded yesterday. When the promised "official tally" is posted, it would be good if it included some analysis of these pledges. Who, specifically, made the largest commitment and how much is it? In fact, I think WUNC ought to publish a list of the 10 people or organizations who give the largest amount to the station in this fund drive and generally. North Carolina taxpayers, who ultimately "own" the station are entitled to know this.

"UNC board passes control rules"

Will these new rules apply to WUNC? Will it make the station transparent? One can only hope so.

Where is the WUNC equivalent of this?

"Current.org | The newspaper about public TV & radio in the U.S."

"Current.org | The newspaper about public TV & radio in the U.S."

This is a tremendous resource for anyone interesting in following the vicissitudes of public radio and television.

"Popular public radio host joins North Carolina Public Radio-WUNC"

"Popular public radio host joins North Carolina Public Radio-WUNC"

How much will this cost? What are the prospects for success?

WUNC's penchant for secrecy is intolerable.
