Late last month, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis vetoed $1.3 million in the budget meant for public radio stations, stripping WMNF, like every other public radio station in the state, of $100,000.
This weekend, WMNFâwhich airs a mix of news and music programmingâwill hold an emergency fund drive that hopes to cover the $100,000 DeSantis veto. Shari Akram, the stationâs marketing and development director, told Creative Loafing Tampa Bay that it will adjust messaging should the federal Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) funding get cut, too.
