"There's nothing on the calendar for today"

N

WUMB maintains two events calendars, one for artists on the approved by the music director for M-F daytime play, the other for everything else.

In their own words:

"Below, are listings for musicians performing in the greater Boston area, who you can hear on WUMB during our Monday through Friday, 6am-7pm music shows. A link to each venue is included to confirm show times, for additional artists, or for more information. Note that this calendar does not contain listings for artists heard only during our Weekend shows, or on our nationally syndicated programs. You can find those and more listings here on our Community Calendar, which also includes listings for local arts and cultural events...."

As a result of this policy, one often hears an announcement "There's nothing on the calendar for today" which is misleading to the public.

Your thoughts about a public radio station having a policy that not only discriminates against musicians/venues/producers but also requires additional resources to manage and edit?
