Proposed state budget cuts will probably slash about $200,000 from WNCW's budget for the
coming year, leaving the station facing staff cuts. The popular local public-radio station is launching a major fund drive to try to make up some of the loss."This is going to be a really painful blow. The station has never been through anything like this where funding is concerned," Manager Dana Whitehair told Xpress. "“I’ve worked in public radio stations for 30 years. WNCW is a priceless gem, most major cities don’t have anything like this. I can’t count the times I’ve heard people wish they had something like it in their town. This is an extraordinary station. "
