BALTIMORE - ENDZONE partners is producing and sponsoring a one hour weekly radio program that will run on Radio One Group on Saturdays from 3 to 4 p.m. The simulcast may be heard on WOLB radio (1010 AM) in Baltimore and WOL radio (1450 AM) in Washington.

The program also will focus on what listeners in the Washington-Baltimore area can do to reduce air pollution.

Ms. LeChez Herring from Towson University will host the program. Each week's program will focus on a particular aspect of ground-level ozone and will feature guest experts. The public is invited to call in and ask questions at 1-800-450-7876.
