An unvarnished blog that dips into the past and comments
on the present of WBAI-FM, a once significant, intelligent New York
radio station that for years has suffered chronic abuse from within and now
nears extinction. Your comments are welcomed and will not be censored.

Everything old is....
I guess it's an endless loop. Here's what was happening 43 years ago! (click on the image to make it readable).
I have the entire Hotel Diplomat meeting on a tape that I am trying to transfer for posting.
Generational change would be good for WBAI, but it takes more to bring it back. Let me clarify that nobody wants WBAI to be brought back to mirror the old program content—what is needed is a return to intelligent, honest,meaningful programming and a microphone that is truly open to fresh ideas and new voices. The tired old pseudo spiritual crap, the conspiracy theories, the health hucksters, and the opportunistic pretense needs to be flushed out.
