Current State | 1/4/16 | Ep. 674

Today on Current State: We discuss the Federal Communications Commission TV spectrum auction and its possible impact on WKAR-TV with MSU Trustee Mitch Lyons and long-time WKAR supporters Rich Weingartner and Jessica Wortley Adler; Douglas A. Noverr, author of “Michigan State University: The Rise of a Research University and the New Millennium”; the "Future Energy Chicago" exhibition at the Museum of Science and Industry; and the Lansing Community College production of "Never Swim Alone" heads to the Kennedy Center’s American College Theatre Festival.

Local journalism matters—and it’s at risk.


WKAR brings you trusted news, without barriers—no paywalls, no corporate spin. But now, federal funding that helps make it all possible is on the chopping block. Your support is more important than ever. Stand up for independent journalism in mid-Michigan—make your gift today.
