	New York Daily News - TV and Radio - Radio: WBAI: Other media ignore antiwar mood (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		WBAI (99.5 FM), a long-time home for antiwar activism, devoted much of Saturday to coverage of the antiwar demonstration in D.C. and criticism of other media for ignoring what 'BAI hosts argue is widespread opposition to military action against Iraq.
		WBAI, which is approaching the end of its fall fund drive, anchored its coverage with a roundtable on war-related issues.
		WBAI speakers said unfavorable comparisons to the size of anti-Vietnam War demonstrations in the late '60s are misleading, because at a comparable stage, protests against a possible war with Iraq are larger.

	Letters Alleging WBAI Staff Padding 12/04
		A healthy check and balance between board and management is best, but this is certainly in question at WBAI now that the faction of staff insiders who are in bed with management (despite all their "pro-worker" rhetoric) control the local board.
		Here is the letter from Roger Manning who was not reelected by WBAI staff to the LSB and therefore is also losing his seat on the Pacifica Board of Directors where he was elected by the previous listener majority on the LSB.
		WBAI is a pit of snakes where only the backers of Bernard's regime are supposed to survive.

	Crisis at WBAI radio in New York: an attempt to silence alternative views (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		WBAI is well-known for Democracy Now!,”; a public-affairs program it produces that is also heard on some non-Pacifica stations around the country, and reaches an audience estimated at 700,000.
		WBAI's programming, reflecting the outlook of left-liberals and the milieu of radical protest politics, leans heavily towards fl nationalism and gay and lesbian identity politics, and its news commentary is generally uncritical of bourgeois nationalist regimes in the Third World.
		WBAI staff member Mimi Rosenberg, speaking about these and other board members, made the rather apt comment that while Pacifica founder Lew Hill “went to the airwaves at the height of the Cold War and said that the FBI was a scurrilous and contemptible organization....

	Response to WBAI Statements (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Many of Gary's listeners who volunteered at recent WBAI fund raising marathons were shocked and dismayed to hear condescending ridicule of Gary and mockery of him and his message as Gary was offering positive messages on WBAI and raising record per minute donations.
		The record is clear and pathetic, that after 25 years of selflessly participating and leading the building of WBAI as an independent voice, Gary Null would be treated as a common pariah and threatened with removal from the air for expressing free speech.
		It's time for the small-minded malcontents who would turn WBAI into their private clubhouse to hear the voices of the listeners who support and ultimately are WBAI and let those voices be loud and free.

		WBAI also broadcasts both political discussion and cultural shows representing a broad spectrum of New York ethnic and other communities, especially from among those most oppressed.

	'Nuff Said! the sound of comics on WBAI-FM: Letters of Support
		WBAI is a fantastic station, one whose principles and tenets fly in the face of conventional corporate radio.
		WBAI is anything but typical, daring to take unconventional subject matters and broadcasting them for the public interest.
		As WBAI is listener-sponsored and the support has been good during the last couple of fundraisers (I myself am a member of the station), I'm not quite sure what the usefulness would be in shifting programs around - this would seem to be in response to competition with other radio stations.

		WBAI produces some of the finest programming and programmers in community radio and, in the process, has built the most diverse audience of any public radio station in the country.
		WBAI achieved this unparalleled record of success not by killing its community ties, but by nurturing them, which was Pacifica's original mission.
		WBAI has always aimed to serve the diverse constituencies which have been locked out of the national discourse as determined by the mainstream corporate media: new immigrant workers, indigenous communities, labor organizers, gays and lesbians, democratic media activists, prisoners, Black and Latino communities, and political leftists.

		Many WBAI listeners were outraged, because the silencing of Owens was clear to anyone who had tuned in that hour.

		When it was over, a reporter from WBAI had become involved in a physical altercation with a reporter from the Independent Media Center.
		They say "Democracy NOW!" is not being aired in New York as retribution for Goodman's continued reference to WBAI at the end of each program as "the studios of the banned and fired," a protest against the massive firings and bannings that took place at the radio station since new management took over in December.

	WBAI FALLS FOR RIGHT WING CONSPIRACY THEORY
		WBAI, whose leadership was purged in a notorious “Christmas Coup” last year, once offered premiums by the likes of Noam Chomsky.
		That WBAI is now promoting Marrs, a peddler of the most vulgar anti-Semitic conspiracy theory, loans credence to those who argue that the station has assumed a rightward trajectory since the “coup.”.
		Under the leadership of Samori Marksman, a Pan-Africanist and Marxist who died at the helm in 1999, nearly every management position at the station was held by a person of color, and the station was committed to a radical multiculturalism.

	THE PACIFICA COUNTERREVOLUTION HITS WBAI
		The stalemate resulted in a tacit settlement that gave KPFA and WBAI temporary autonomy and led to the appointment of several new representatives of the audiences and stations to the Pacifica board.
		Its attack on Amy Goodman and the current takeover of WBAI are a part of this de-democratization and political neutering.
		It is a horrifying fact that a chunk of the left actually signed Saul Landau's letter in 1999 which defended the Pacifica management and urged the left to stop its "Pacifica bashing," with "Pacifica" identified with the management group that was destroying the old Pacifica and picking off left journalists and stations one by one.

		Popular veterans of the listener-supported station, like program manager Bernard White and WBAI union shop steward Sharan Harper, (both producers of the morning Wake-Up Call show) received letters of termination at their homes several hours before their shifts were to begin.
		WBAI general manager, Valerie Van Isler, who, like White, was a twenty-year vet of the station,was similarly fired by Pacifica, ostensibly for failing to accept a position at network headquarters in Washington, DC.
		For in fighting for her, you fight for the finest traditions of WBAI, and against the corporationists who want to turn a national resource into just another commodity.

		The Union began as an idea at WBAI in 1986, when there was considerable uproar over the problems caused by a new Program Director who had no understanding of WBAI, exhibited bad manners, cultivated an inability to deal honestly with people and who didn't know what he was doing in the first place.
		We later found that what WBAI Management had presented to us was the “Contract From Hell,” written for them by a Union-busting firm named The American Consulting Group, which they were also trying to shove down the throats of the other Unionized Pacifica stations.
		On July 16, 1996, two WBAI Unpaid Staff members and the then Chair of the WBAI Local Board discussed the issue of union busting at WBAI on WNYC radio.
