Bates is attempting to resurface after what—by all indications—has been another fund flop. He seems to have majored in hype at Trump U.—it certainly wasn't English writing. Here's his latest, just a tad ahead of Berthold Reimers' Monday morning "report."
Greetings All,
Thanks for your efforts during WBAI's Winter Fund Drive everyone.
We want to to send specific thanks out to Prof. Ron Daniels, ("Vantage Point", Mondays - 10 AM) who continues every fund drive, to make efforts toward the improvement of his pitching methods and connection with the audience. Those efforts are paying off as his fund drive numbers continue to rise with each drive. He is also consistently asking for BAI Buddies, whether or not it is fund drive. The audience is responding well. Prof. Daniels "Vantage Point" are leading the WBAI effort to build a viable "sustaining membership" roll.
WBAI Management would also like to acknowledge the efforts of Fran Luck ("Joy of Resisitance" Sundays - 6 PM) who arranged a feminist film screening during this fund drive and somehow got 20 WBAI donors to slog through blizzard like conditions to attend the screening. The program also served as a successful on air fundraiser. Kudos Fran.
We'd also like to thank and acknowledge Bich-Ha Pham ("City Watch", Saturdays - 10 AM) who took on International Women's Day at the last possible moment, on behalf of WBAI. Bich Ha managed the massive task with alacrity and finesse as is the Pacifica and WBAI tradition.
Rebecca Myles "Rape Declaration Forum" - ([rotating] 4th Saturdays - 5 AM) also deserves an honorable mention and thanks for stepping up initially to coordinate IWD. Time constraints interfered with her efforts.
Thanks to all of you!
New Program
WBAI is proud to announce a new host and program will be joining the WBAI family. Local professor (Union Theological Seminary) and activist, Reverend Sam Cruz is bringing an intellectual look at inspired activism to the WBAI airwaves.
The program is a long form interview / conversation program. Reverend Cruz will interview high level activists, whose activism is informed by their spirituality. We've titled the show, "Crossroads - Where Spirit and Activism Meet" The new show will begin of Friday, April 6th, it will air on Fridays at 5 PM.
Thank you,
Reading through Dr. Cruz's cv, his focus is on African/Latin American religions in America, where does he stand on FGM?
ReplyDeleteI snapped on Geoff Brady to hear him interviewing a nutcase woman who manufactures organite and is pushing a thing called the Implant Killer. I guess we know what will be the next beg-a-thon offering from Brady...
ReplyDeleteSDL
The implant killer? That might explain why Brady never grew a brain.
DeleteThat's it. Brady..You're fired! You're banned from the station! You're banned from Brooklyn Commons! You're banned from Atlantic Ave! Just go away and take that pile zappers and orgonite with you.
DeleteIf only...
DeleteNo mention by Bates of the removal of Savona Bailey-McClain's "State of the Arts", which had top-of-the-line NYC artists, to elbow out space for Sam Cruz's new show. Savona was also one of the key producers to extensively utilize social media to build an audience. It's a new lawsuit-in-the-making, the fools!
ReplyDeleteMe thinks Bates heaps undue praise on the so-called "professor" who probably makes more money advertising his various schemes than he does for WBAI.
DeleteSavona was broadening the narrow scope of arts coverage, maybe she will end up in the overnights?
DeleteMitchel Cohen should not speak - he has enabled Bates, Reimers, Marksman and Van Isler for years All scumbags - he needs to just sit down and shut up!!
