Detroit’s public radio station WDET (101.9-FM) is making changes to the daytime lineup ahead of its diamond anniversary.
The locally hosted shows “Detroit Today” and “Culture Shift” will end, making way for new weekday daytime programs. The new Monday-Friday schedule still features the voices of Tia Graham, Ryan Patrick Hooper and Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Stephen Henderson, but in different formats.
Instead of “Detroit Today,” Henderson will host the one-hour show “Created Equal,” at 9 a.m. and 7 p.m. weekdays, which aims to discuss “the challenge of inequality and the promise of opportunity.” From 11 a.m. to noon, Nick Austin and Tia Graham host “The Metro,” a one-hour news and culture magazine that repeats at 10 p.m.
In addition to daytime weekday tweaks, the station is adding new music shows to the evening lineup.
A familiar voice returns 8-10 p.m. Thursdays as WDET personality Liz Warner launches “Alternate Take,” a show exploring music that has impacted and continues to influence the city’s creative community. Formerly known as Liz Copeland, Warner was a DJ on WDET 1995-2007.

WDET shakes up lineup
Re: WDET shakes up lineup
I really am impressed how they keep the programming fresh.
For Kristian Trumpers are not serving our Lord Christ, but their own appetites. By smooth talk and flattery they deceive the minds of naive people.

I really enjoyed WDET when they were music-centric during the day. Martin Bandyke, Ann Delisi, Judy Adams, Dave Dixon, etc,
I haven't listened during the week for years.

Re: WDET shakes up lineup
I stopped donating years ago when DET cut back on the music programming. I don’t care to listen to them anymore.

Not only that, but I can see they’re Gonna have Kwame Kilpatrick, Anthony Adams and Bankole Thompson as guest hostsMWmetalhead wrote: ↑Wed Jan 24, 2024 4:00 pm The new schedule is a confusing labyrinth.
The new show with "the white man is bad" theme sounds intriguing!
