WBAI a National Broadcasting Center?



"Anyone with something to say gets a chance to say it—or if it's music, to play it—on WBAI. Without preconditions. And without editing."

"We want to establish a branch station in Harlem, where Negroes will produce their own programs for WBAI—and train for the broadcasting business in the process."

"There is no longer any doubt that WBAI is a permanent active voice on the New York scene."

The above are quotes from this 1968 ad:

WBAI was in its early stages of vandalism in 1968. Nobody could have predicted what a hopeless it would become. I don't know if this ad was ever published. Has anyone here seen it before?
