The way the "coup" occurred was bizarre (at the beginning of a fund drive, without any warning, destroying equipment and redirecting the broadcast signal from the station's studio in Brooklyn, replacing local programming with "Pacifica Across America" programming from other Pacifica stations) and does not indicate that those behind the takeover were interested in stabilizing the station's finances.
WBAI is an important resource for progressive New Yorkers and is much needed nowadays. As a listener-sponsor, I am thrilled that local programming is back.
