In 2011 Kiplyn Primus and Jazz 91.9 WCLK launched The Local
Take with Kiplyn Primus. This public affairs show features
discussions about critical issues facing Atlanta and profiles of
organizations doing important work in the communities served by
WCLK.

As public broadcasters it is part of our mission to engage with the community and feature people and issues that aren’t always covered by mainstream, commercial media outlets. Soon to celebrate our 10th Anniversary we are cover subject matter from health to finance to cultural events and politics. The Local Take has become a news source for our community.
