Program description:
Wakeup Call is WBAI's morning drive-time news magazine.
The show features in-depth coverage of local, national and
international news, social and cultural issues and events.
The focus is on human rights, peace and social, economic and
racial justice. We bring voices and perspectives that are excluded
from mainstream media. While the topics covered on Wakeup Call
are serious and important, portions of the program are entertaining.
