How to work hard and accomplish nothing...

I guess the "well known artists, politicians and socialites" weren't inspired by WBAI's programs.

A no nonsense list of suggestions

Today, when BlueBoard administrator R. Paul Martin, expressed his displeasure with my critique of WBAI's mismanagement, I responded by pointing out what I see as having led up to the present crisis. I didn't say anything that he hasn't read in my BlueBoard posts, but I admit that I took advantage of an opportunity to speak freely. Unlike the BlueBoard, Nalini's Pacifica Radiowaves list-serv allows one to do that. Anyway, my response to R. Paul brought the following from Kevin White, a man who owes his education to Houston's Pacifica station, KPFT (well, a good chunk of it) and is a long-time uninhibited critic of Pacifica in its present form. 

Chris, I feel exactly the same way as you do. What's so frustrating about the hole Pacifica is in is that its problems are so easy to fix. Houston's Leo Gold emailed me that "All Pacifica's problems could be solved by a second year MBA student. "Number 11 is my favorite. Pacifica managers are the laziest I've ever encountered.  —Kevin White, KPFT - Houston

When we get closer to August 25, I will post this again, and add details regarding  directions to Woodlawn.

Stark reality - Summer of 2013

It might have worked somewhat better had they tried to turn WBAI into an intelligent black station, but myopia and racism got in the way. Of course, WBAI was never meant to limit its appeal to one small segment of the NYC populace, especially not an even smaller faction within that group.

From the infamous Blue Board...

As the Board Bozos meet to come up with a 2 - 3-year plan for WBAI's future...

I don't know how many former listeners have contacted the Pacifica Board, but I am told that several have complained to the CPB. The outrage is mounting and I know of at least one major media outlet that is preparing a story. Reimers and the LSB cannot say that they didn't see this coming, so they are but reaping what they themselves have sown. If Pacifica had listened, I think they could have dumped this management and turned the station around. At this point, I see no hope for that occurring.
