Mike Savage Really Wants to Talk About the FCC and the Future of Public Media

Mike Savage is the General Manager of WEKU, a public radio service of Eastern Kentucky University. WEKU serves Lexington, and much of Eastern, Northern and Central Kentucky. We dive right into a discussion about the role of the Federal Communications Commission in the light of its threat to pull ABC's broadcasting license in response to a joke Jimmy Kimmel made about the First Lady and the President. We also have a wide-ranging conversation about the current and future state of public broadcasting and the clear need for journalism in the public interest to survive and thrive.
