WBAI Lays Off Staff

August 9, 2013 at 5:10 pm By Lance Venta


Update 8/9: In an on-air program discussing the state of WBAI, Pacifica Interim Executive Director Summer Reese announced that most staff members including the entire news department will be laid off as of Monday, August 12 as the station does not have the funds to meet payroll.

I did some googling to read more about that: what a fiasco! That legacy station gets something like a .1 in the New York ratings, when it shows up and it has a commercial signal (with antenna on the Empire State Building), not one of those public radio freqs on the fringe of the dial.

At one point something like a Pacifica station was the only place to go if you wanted to hear voices from the far left so they could count on a certain level of support. Now, though, the web and certain cable news outlets provide plenty of professionally written and produced alternatives, plus there are forums, Twitter and other social media outlets. Why donate to an an amateur-hour radio station (which WBAI is, even though it's in New York City).

I still wonder if KNSJ's radio signal exists only to give legitimacy to its web stream, although from what I hear, there's no compelling content coming out of their studio to attract on-air or online listeners, so perhaps my theory gives credit for more strategic thinking than their governing committee is capable of (after all, as noted in the past, "A camel is a horse designed by committee").
 
So according to radio-locator the station has filed to be off the air. But I have been looking at all of their applications on the FCC site, and I don't see that, nor do I see a completed license. It still shows a CP that has expired, and shows a program test authority and it should have showed a completed license accepted for filing and pending approval.

Are any of the rest of you seeing this like this? It looks like they REALLY don't have a clue! And it would be stupid to fight so hard for a station just to let it go due to ignorance of the rules!

I do have to agree with David Eduardo, I don't see this being a successful venture. The fidelity is un-listenable at best, signal is poor at best, and the programming sounds like an abortion in the back of a Ford Pinto.

Someone there needs to get some help. Just because you're protesting make it worth someone's time to listen.
 
It's been about 12 hours of dead air on 'The People Powered Station'. At least the RDS shows what station you are
trying to listen to.
Everyone thought KSIQ had a bad beginning; KNSJ has already sunk lower than that.

I'm thinking that some paperwork/database didn't get updated....
