WAMU Puts Metro Connection On Hiatus

Local news and culture show Metro Connection will go on hiatus after this Friday’s broadcast, WAMU announced Friday. “The show is taking a break, while we rethink how to deliver the highest-quality sound-rich stories to your ears and eyes,” a post on the radio station’s website says. Host Rebecca Sheir says on Twitter that she’s “taking a break”:

It’s true: @wamumetro is taking a break. So am I. But @wamu885 wants to hear from you, re. future local programming! https://t.co/Fs1xvFVErj
