* Pacifica has ordered the changing of locks on the WBAI transmitter today. It appears that neither the station manager nor engineer was part of this decision. This comes as WBAI continues to operate at a financial loss and lose audience.

* From Robert Knight:

I have posted to Radio4All an MP3 file of the final 19 minutes of WBAI's "Wake Up Call," long a sanctuary for JUC/CEMOTAP partisans of "program director" Bernard White.

The audio clip is available at:

*http://www.radio4all.net/index.php/program/32476*

In this excerpt (2 April 2009, 8:40-9:00am EDT), Errol Maitland, Bernard White and Ester Armah make the following disingenuous claims (among many others) during the course of the 3-hour morning show:

* Pacifica is "capturing our antenna."
* Kathy Davis and Anthony Riddle are "missing."
* Carolyn Birden is "hiding under a rock."
* "[WBAI LSB Chair] Mitchel [Cohen], every organization that you have been involved in end [sic] in chaos."
* Cohen is "doing [the CIA's] job" and "ought to be collecting Judas [sic] money."
* "They are trying to make us pariahs in the eyes of the national board."
* "We've been forced [sic] to move to Wall Street by the national board."
* "We wanted to move into 'the community'."
* "They fired Lonnie Hicks, who was the chief financial officer of the 'station' [sic], and they did it in a backhanded and underhanded way."
