With our evolving EQFM initiative, WFUV Public Media is doing its part to help resolve the issue of gender disparity and racial inequity in the music industry. We're striving toward 50 percent representation of women and gender minorities in our programming, and a culturally balanced mix of artists overall. And it’s not just about us, but a rallying cry: we’re planting a flag and asking others to join us.
