— One Year on the AirIt’s now one year since Current State came on the air. In that short time, the program that brings you fresh, smart, insightful news has covered many miles of the state, and reached beyond Michigan to explore regional, national and international issues that affect us all.
Story by story, the Current State team has brought you conversations with leaders in government at all levels; you’ve heard the viewpoints of leaders from small towns to large cities.
With Current State, you’ve heard thoughtful discussions about the environment, education, community service, sports, business, music and the arts.
We’ve shared views on film, books and poetry — reviewed by your neighbors, writers, artists and performers who live and work near you.
Current State has gone on location to area concerts, art festivals and sporting events to bring you the sounds and excitement of this vibrant
community at the heart of our great state of Michigan.
And there’s much more to look forward to with Current State in 2014.
As you listen this year, please share Current State with friends who appreciate fresh, smart, insightful news. Let them know there are three chances to listen each weekday, Saturday at 11am,
Sunday at noon and always online at WKAR.org.

Thank you and please join us in celebrating this important milestone!

— One Year on the AirIt’s now one year since Current State came on the air. In that short time, the program that brings you fresh, smart, insightful news has covered many miles of the state, and reached beyond Michigan to explore regional, national and international issues that affect us all.
Story by story, the Current State team has brought you conversations with leaders in government at all levels; you’ve heard the viewpoints of leaders from small towns to large cities.
With Current State, you’ve heard thoughtful discussions about the environment, education, community service, sports, business, music and the arts.
We’ve shared views on film, books and poetry — reviewed by your neighbors, writers, artists and performers who live and work near you.
Current State has gone on location to area concerts, art festivals and sporting events to bring you the sounds and excitement of this vibrant
community at the heart of our great state of Michigan.
And there’s much more to look forward to with Current State in 2014.
As you listen this year, please share Current State with friends who appreciate fresh, smart, insightful news. Let them know there are three chances to listen each weekday, Saturday at 11am,
Sunday at noon and always online at WKAR.org.

With Current State, you’ve heard thoughtful discussions about the environment, education, community service, sports, business, music and the arts.

Current State has gone on location to area concerts, art festivals and sporting events to bring you the sounds and excitement of this vibrant
community at the heart of our great state of Michigan.
And there’s much more to look forward to with Current State in 2014.

Story by story, the Current State team has brought you conversations with leaders in government at all levels; you’ve heard the viewpoints of leaders from small towns to large cities.
With Current State, you’ve heard thoughtful discussions about the environment, education, community service, sports, business, music and the arts.
We’ve shared views on film, books and poetry — reviewed by your neighbors, writers, artists and performers who live and work near you.
Current State has gone on location to area concerts, art festivals and sporting events to bring you the sounds and excitement of this vibrant
community at the heart of our great state of Michigan.
And there’s much more to look forward to with Current State in 2014.
