WFCR to Air Live U.S. Senate Candidate Call-in Friday at 1 p.m.

AMHERST, Mass. -- Five College Radio, WFCR, said it would air a live, call-in talk show featuring all four of the Democratic candidates for the U.S. Senate seat held by the late Edward Kennedy on Friday at 1 p.m. Radio Boston, a weekly program on public radio station WBUR, is hosting the call-in from its studios at Boston University.

The candidates, U.S. Rep. Michael Capuano, State Attorney General Martha Coakley, Alan Khazei, co-founder of CityYear and Stephen Pagliuca, owner of the Boston Celtics, will appear in sequential fashion and Radio Boston will be taking calls from listeners across the state ahead of the December 8 U.S. Senate primary.

"This race could result in the next U.S. senator from Massachusetts for
decades to come," said Helen Barrington, WFCR's Program Director. "We want to make sure the voters of western Massachusetts get to hear what these candidates have to say." WFCR's regularly scheduled classical music will resume at 2PM.
