Programs and Personnel
WMNF has from the beginning aired a wide variety of programming, including special interest music shows including bluegrass, polka, gospel, Celtic, Latin and experimental. In 2007 the major music styles on WMNF are rock, folk and blues. WMNF's progressive news and public affairs programs have steadily increased since the nineties and are now amongst their most popular programming. While the schedule has constantly changed, the station has a number of long-running programs including the Sixties Show and community affairs programs such as The Women's Show, a show touching on feminist issues that first started running in the 1980s, and Out in the Open, a show dealing with gay and lesbian community issues that has aired since 1993. Many of the programs, including Out in the Open, are available via podcast at the station's web site and most shows are archived there as well. While some of the on-air talent changes on a regular basis the station's personnel has remained fairly constant, including programming director Randy Wynne, news director Rob Lorei and business manager Mercedes Skelton. Other notable personnel and alumni of the station include Pat Chamburs, Dorothy Abbott (co-creator of The Women's Show), John Chambrone, Bob Pomeroy, and Mary Glenney.

Famous quotes containing the words programs and, programs and/or personnel:
“Whether in the field of health, education or welfare, I have put my emphasis on preventive rather than curative programs and tried to influence our elaborate, costly and ill- co-ordinated welfare organizations in that direction. Unfortunately the momentum of social work is still directed toward compensating the victims of our society for its injustices rather than eliminating those injustices.”
—Agnes E. Meyer (1887–1970)
“Will TV kill the theater? If the programs I have seen, save for “Kukla, Fran and Ollie,” the ball games and the fights, are any criterion, the theater need not wake up in a cold sweat.”
—Tallulah Bankhead (1903–1968)
“This woman is headstrong, obstinate and dangerously self- opinionated.”
—Report by Personnel Officer at I.C.I., rejecting Mrs. Thatcher for a job in 1948.
