American Studies Center, The
Washington, DC 20005
The American Studies Center's central mission is "to improve the public's understanding of public policy issues." ASC's "Radio America" affiliate produces programming which can be heard on approximately 2000 radio stations across the country. ASC also produced "Reagan Reconsidered: A 12 part Documentary" and plans to launch a 24-hour-a-day radio network to broadcast "news, debate and analysis." The foundations provided $410,000 in grants to support the general operations of Radio America as well as specific broadcast projects, "What's the Story," a weekly program on the media itself, and a documentary series on Black conservatives. Money was also provided to support two conservative daily radio shows - the "Alan Keyes Show" and "Dateline Washington."
