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.

Go WBAI.org and get Rush Limbaugh!!!
I just turned my browser to WBAI.org, which should pop the station’s website onto my screen. Instead, I get a slick menu of choices that include “Rush Limbaugh Radio", “Conservative Radio” and “Michael Savage Radio.”
Oh, WBAI is also an option, but it doesn’t take one to the site.
In some weird way, though, it didn't seem so odd to see WBAI associated with Limbaugh and his ilk. The intellectual content of some BAI programs is just about the same as Limbaugh's show, and the vacuous shrillness of those same programs has a lot in common with O'Reilly, Hannity and their breed.

ReplyDeleteIt's back up now.
Maybe the web host bill is something else that got paid a little too late!
Sad to say, I would call that a reasonable deduction, JAL
DeleteJAL and Chris--I had the same thought.

Apropos unpaid bills, I will, within the hour, post an interesting phone call Fass received this morning.
DeleteBig difference is that all the aforementioned are -- and have been -- extremely successful and influencial for many years. BAI?...not so much.
