The formal announcement of the new one-hour show, which will air each weekday, was expected to be made on Tuesday. According to NPR officials, the program will focus on news, trends and issues important to African-Americans. ''NPR is steadfast in its dedication to present diverse perspectives of relevance to African-Americans,'' says Jay Kernis, senior vice president of programming.
