Debuting on March 8, "Newark Today," a live call-in talk show hosted by anchor-reporter David Cruz, will air from 8 to 9 p.m. the second Thursday of every month.

"One of the best things about the show is that we will be taking calls from listeners who will finally have access to one-on-one conversations with the Newark mayor," said Cruz in a statement.

Cruz's five-part series leading up to the Newark mayoral election was recently recognized by the New York Association of Black Journalists. Cruz -- a lifelong Jersey City resident -- anchors the noon news and is a co-host of the "WBGO Journal," which airs 7:30 p.m. Fridays.
