WKAR/AM 870 at Michigan State University will host two live listener call-in programs, “Leading Lansing: Call-Ins with the City’s Mayoral Candidates," Oct. 20 and 23.
The programs offer Lansing voters the opportunity to ask questions of candidates Carol Wood, an at-large Lansing City Councilmember, and first-term mayor, Virg Bernero. The election will be held Nov. 3.
Rob South, a WKAR Radio news producer who covers Lansing City Hall, will moderate the call-in programs, with Wood on Oct. 20 and Bernero on Oct. 23. The programs will be aired from 11 a.m. until noon, with phone calls accepted at (517) 355-WKAR (9527) or toll-free at (877)-WKAR (9527)-870.
Issues facing Lansing’s mayoral candidates include the city’s falling revenues, growing expenditures, infrastructure maintenance, neighborhood outreach, and economic development.
Listeners can also follow the program online live at http://www.WKAR.org.
The program will be archived for online listening. WKAR Radio’s daily news updates are posted at WKAR.org as well as on the station’s Twitter feed.
