RE: <nettime> Followup report on WBAI and Democracy Now

Ronda, your message is somewhat misleading. "Democracy Now!" was never
"off the air." You can listen online, the archive is at
http://www.democracynow.org/archive/index.html.

The program is broadcast by over 30 stations - the list is at
http://www.democracynow.org/stations.html.

Even if WBAI stopped broadcasting the program, that wouldn't mean that it
was "off the air" if it was broadcast by 30+ other stations. I think it's
important to clarify that you're talking about a local issue with a single
station, and not an attempt to kill the program altogether (which was
evidently an issue a few months ago).
