Nightcall
Detroit's weekly alternative media live broadcast public affairs phone-in talk show with a working class demographic hosted by Peter Werbe and since 2006, he has been joined by his producer who is singer/songwriter and WCSX DJ, Juline Jordan. Contrary to popular belief, Peter is otherwise married. Nightcall has continually broadcast over the last four decades on WRIF Sunday nights beginning at 11pm Eastern, followed by The Peter Werbe Show. Rejecting the 'megaphone' style of broadcasting, Peter has always encouraged callers to bring up their concerns to fulfill the public affairs segment required of broadcasters. A quote form Peter Werbe lifted from previous versions of this page: "Werbe's well articulated left of center views and his easy style often infuriate right-wing listeners, who, rather than taking advantage of the phone lines available to them on Werbe's program, prefer instead to deface this page. He takes their frustration at their inability to confront his views directly as a high compliment."
Public affairs requirements may have since been relaxed, yet the show remains quite popular, having no compunction towards an un-accommodating time slot. The show attracts international listeners and callers going far beyond Our friends to the South, Canada. This may be a result of WRIF's free webstream and podcasts. Peter occasionally points out a very small portion of Detroit's thumb which actually lies just north of a small portion of Windsor, Ontario.
