In 1995, during my brief tenure
at WAMC 90.3 FM Northeast Public Radio, in a grant-funded announcer/producer
position, one of my tasks was to announce the news and weather during the 90-second
break at 2:30 p.m. during the Vox Pop call-in show. Twenty-six years later the show and
that news break remain, so little has changed at WAMC.
This segment from March 3, 1995,
reviews the day’s top stories, including protests against consumers being able
to choose their own utilities and the stigmatization of so-called “welfare-mothers,”
the NYS Attorney General Dennis Vacco tries to placate business owners over the
enforcement of environmental laws, a new woman’s jail for Springfield, Mass.,
and the weather!
