Air Traffic Control problems continue to plague our nation's airports and the Federal Aviation Adminisatration. Linda speaks with Matt Wald, who's an aviation correspondent with the New York Times, about the problems with the air traffic control systems. Yesterday there were major problems with a radar at Pittsburgh's airport, closing it down for hours. This is not the first time this has happened, says Wild. The F-A-A is trying to fix the problems and is proposing new measures of how to make the airtraffic control systems safer.

Federal funding is gone.

Congress has eliminated all funding for public media.

That means $2.1 million per year that Connecticut Public relied on to deliver you news, information, and entertainment programs you enjoyed is gone.

The future of public media is in your hands.

All donations are appreciated, but we ask in this moment you consider starting a monthly gift as a Sustainer to help replace what’s been lost.
