Pedestrian life, arts & culture, plus WTVI/CPCC and the future of public TV, on the latest 282

Posted on 26 Mar 2012 by Justin Ruckman

282 is produced weekly at WTVI, and airs each Monday at 6:30 and 11:00 PM.

This week we talk about:

• Pedestrian life in Charlotte: are we a pedestrian-friendly city? Recent pedestrian deaths suggest otherwise, or do they?
• Arts & culture: some people say there’s not enough of it in Charlotte, while others say you just have to open your eyes. We take a look at the truth of the matter, and who some of the city’s most interesting players are.
• WTVI/CPCC merger: The Board of County Commissioners approved proposed acquisition of WTVI by CPCC. What does it mean for the station, the college, and the future of public television in Charlotte?

Carlton is joined this week by the following panel:

• Mary Newsom: UNC Charlotte Urban Institute & the newly launched plancharlotte.org
• Manoj Kesavan: que-OS
• Chris William: Carolina Business Review
