Boing Boing -WBAI is a beloved New York City institution, owned by the Pacifica Foundation and run primarily by volunteers who produce long running, cultural-defining shows like Jim Freund's Hour of the Wolf (science fiction) and 2600's Off the Hook (information security and tech policy).
This morning, WBAI volunteers received a short, abrupt note informing them that the station's operations were being "discontinued" effective today, due to "ongoing and continued projections of further financial losses" which "jeopardize the survival of the entire network."
The letter holds out the promise of a relaunch "once we are able to
create a sustainable financial structure." In the meantime, the station
will air the feed from Pacifica Across America.
