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.
