Local public broadcasting station WJCT is planning to discontinue the popular public affairs program “Week in Review” hosted by Tom Patton.
The show, which has aired both on TV and 89.9-FM, has provided a much needed venue for local and state political discussions. Unfortunately, tough economic times are forcing cut-backs everywhere, and WJCT is no exception.
“I’ve had a great time with Week in Review, and it had a great run. Eight years for a 13 week experiment,” Patton told us, when asked for a comment. “We’re still discussing what will come next, whether it’s a continuation of Week in Review on the radio, or a new project. But we ARE committed to offering Northeast Florida a solid, relevant public affairs program.”
Here’s hoping that a new format or program is quickly devised to fill the void left by WIR.
