WAIF-FM meeting tonight

An information meeting about WAIF-FM (88.3), the non-profit station in East Walnut Hills, will be 5:30-8 p.m. today at Simone’s restaurant, 1544 Madison Road, Walnut Hills. The Urbanists – an informal group of city residents and professionals – will lead the discussion about the 30-year-old listener-supported station, says Joe Wessels, a former WAIF-FM talk host and former board member.
The group wants to improve the station by expanding the membership base, to nfluence WAIF-FM board elections in September. “Many would like to explore how an expanded membership could bring new life to this unique community (asset),” he says.
Tuesday is the deadline for buying a membership ($15) to be eligible to vote at the station’s Sept. 17 annual meeting, he says.
