WCMH-4 LAUNCHES PROGRAM ON ISSUES INVOLVING MINORITIES AND WOMEN

     COLUMBUS -- WCMH-4 will launch a new television program
geared toward the frank and positive discussion of various issues
of concern to minorities and women in Columbus.  The program,
"Beneath the Surface," will debut on Saturday, Jan. 22, at 7 p.m.

     News 4 reporter Kelly Jackson and Ohio State radio
personality Reggie Anglen will moderate the program which will be
a mixture of reports from the field and panel discussions.  The
half-hour program is a co-production of WCMH-4 and Ohio State.

     The first program will center on the economic climate in
central Ohio for the minority business community.  Scheduled
guests include Stanley Harris, vice president for minority
business services at National City Bank; Frankie Coleman,
executive director of the Private Industry Council; Roger
Blackwell, professor of marketing at Ohio State, and Lillian
Giles, owner of Macondo Books.

     "Beneath the Surface" not only will report problems that
exist, but it also will present possible solutions to the
problems through viewer response.  Future programs will deal with
violence in the community, educational issues, the arts and
community-wide programs that promote positive action.

     Co-host Reggie Anglen is a staff assistant in the Office of
University Communications.  He is in his fourth season as
producer and host of "Insight," a radio magazine program about
Ohio State that is broadcast Saturdays at 10 a.m. on Power 106 FM Radio.
