These folks should try to get real jobs in the real broadcasting world instead of clinging to mama's frayed and tattered apron strings. I doubt they could ever cut the mustard at a commercial station, or even at a major public station. The glory days of WBAI are over. The heritage has been tarnished.

There's a lot of pop up ads with the above link. Didn't have the time to wait for the content.
Huh? Ive never seen ads on facebook before.
OK well it is germane to the issue.....they are ignoring a whole area with the MSM, and maybe WBAI could think outside the box and do reporting no one else does....people are getting wise to this....and my prediction that ohbahma legacy will be the death of political correctness, this area cannot be held back for long......and WBAI has the wherewith all to capitalize on it and get out of debt...
On the POWW Facebook page, an entry posted today (November 18th) at 3:25 P.M. EST (about a half-hour before I wrote this post) claims that the general manager of the embattled WBAI-99.5, Bethold Reimers, has "refused to step down" and is hiring a lawyer!
As I had written in another thread about the trials and tribulations of WBAI parent Pacifica, this may be the best soap opera on radio since "Ma Perkins" got cancelled in November of 1960!

This is Rehash anyway. We did said the same stuff on every Pacifica thread. They already fell off the cliff way before Parts of Pacifica, California fell off the cliff.
Former news editor Andrea Sears is still doing news reporting, now on her own at http://www.leftvoices.net. She's on Twitter as @LeftVoices and on Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/LeftVoices.
I think a couple of the other reporters are doing things here and there as well. Their unemployment is almost up and the severance they are entitled to as part of their contracts is, well....nowhere.

WBAI option
maybe WBAI could move to ship off shore near NYC---- And , air Gary Null 24./7.
And sell 99.5. where is international water? 12 miles off shore ?
but, they would likely interfere with other
'FM stations. Causing the FCC to shut them down ?

Pacifica ($$$)
why not sell its Houston FM station for needed cash?
or sell WBAI & try to buy WNYE, WQXR or WKCR? Or , buy a NYC
AM station . & add fm translators in nearby NYC areas.

99.5 WBAI moving its transmitter to the World Trade Center
Due to unpaid rent, the Empire State Building is forcing WBAI to move its transmitter out. It recently applied for a construction permit to broadcast from the World Trade Center. It'll be the first NYC station to broadcast from the new 1776 foot antenna. Wonder how its signal will change.

April 1st.. Enough said.
I assume you meant "trasmitter" and not "translator".
It already is a Full Power 50 kw station.
A Class B is 50 kw at approximately 500 feet above average terrain. If you increase antenna height, power must be reduced. That's why the ESB station are roughly 6 kw at 1350 feet... the equivalent of 50,000 watts at 500 feet.
WBAI would have to reduce power below 6 kw if the center of radiation of the new site is higher.
WBAI is not the full power class b like the others on Empire. Their trasmitter (sic) is only 4.3 kw.
I'd forgotten that part... they are a B, but with some protection requirements that don't allow full B Power So if they increase height they will drop below 4 kw. My point was that they can not, at the supposed new site, go to 50 kw.
