Many of you have probably never heard of WFUV, with good reason. It's radio signal is very weak, even as close to the city as I am. They are trying to construct a radio tower to broaden their signal and reach more people, but the New York Botanical Gardens, located across the street from Fordham's campus, where FUV broadcasts, have halted the construction on this tower. The completion is *crucial* if FUV is to survive and it has been in limbo for eight years thanks to the Botanical Gardens. The radio station will be silenced if this tower cannot be finished. WFUV is the only station in the NYC area of it's kind. It's public radio, funded completely by memberships and donations, and thus has no playlist. The DJs play music that they genuinely enjoy. It's a mix of folk, rock, classics, and tons of independant artists. TONS. Suzanne Vega, Christine Lavin, and Dar Williams all started here, and new artists are introduced every day on this station. In addition, they run NPR news updates, are commercial free, and are the only source of Celtic music in the tri-state area. We simply cannot take this away from the people of New York and New Jersey. If WFUV leaves, what wil l take it's place? Another poppy top 40 station filled with endless songs that sound the same? If everyone could please take a minute to sign this online petition. It will only be up for a few more days and they really need the support. Again, i'm sorry for the off-topicness, but FUV is the only station around me that plays Lucy songs and it's what got me hooked on her! so if you please could... sign the petition here: https://wfuv907r.securesites.com/cgi-bin/mailer.cgi?template=/petition.html And read more about the issue here: https://wfuv907r.securesites.com/tower/index.html ------------------------------ End of lucy-list-digest V4 #146 ******************************* This has been a posting from the Lucy Kaplansky mail list digest To unsubscribe send mail to Majordomo@smoe.org with "unsubscribe lucy-list-digest" in the body of the message
