UMSL fires KWMU GM

The University of Missouri-St. Louis has fired KWMU general manager Patricia Wente after completing a review of the public radio station's financial and management policies. A story by reporter Greg Jonsson in today's Post-Dispatch says that the University does not anticipate making any further personnel changes, which one would hope means that the program schedule also will remain unaffected.

Although most of the station's programming consists of news and talk, KWMU does broadcast the long-running music program Jazz Unlimited, hosted by Dennis Owsley, on Sundays from 9 p.m. to midnight.
