For the present, WFDR will concentrate on news and music. Five nights a week five liberal commentators (John Carmody, Robert Nathan, Marquis Childs, Mrs. Raymond Clapper, John Herling) will alternate in bringing the news from Washington. WFDR hopes to supplement forums, educational and health programs with string ensembles, choral groups and dramatic shows supplied at times by I.L.G.W.U. talent (in 1937 an I.L.G.W.U.-produced revue, Pins and Needles, was an outstanding Broadway success). Boasts big, white-haired Frederick Umhey: "We plan to make WFDR the most articulate town-meeting hall, the outstanding music hall, the most attractive cultural center in New York."
