PMD #12: Our first birthday!

Public Media Daily

This is Public Media Daily - Episode #12 on your podcast feed. Its a special episode because one year ago today, Monday, May 1st, 2017, we launched something called Public Media Fans and it still exists today. We pay homage to it at the end of the episode.

4) 89.1 KANW-HD2 Albuquerque had some problems and it affected its low-power translators too.

5) WDPB 64 Seaford may have had some problems too but its back on-air. This is WHYY-TV 12 Wilmington, Del. - Philadelphia's satellite station.
