Remaking Public Radio
KPCC has stopped the music for all-news
Minnesota’s attorney general sued MPR, alleging that the company misled its members about the extent of its list sharing. MPR maintains that it has ”acted ethically and responsibly“ and has asked that the lawsuit be dismissed. MPR has revised its name-sharing practices to comply with tougher restrictions recently adopted by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. KPCC does not share its donor lists, but it will likely consider doing so under the new regime, says station manager Young.
By all indications, Minnesota Public Radio is in Los Angeles for the long haul. The company is currently in negotiations to buy Marketplace, the business-news program now produced by KUSC and carried on two other L.A. public-radio stations. MPR‘s Curtis sees nothing wrong with this duplication. ”We do provide programming for stations that compete with us,“ he says. ”And we always will.“
