Urgent: No Transmitter, no WBAI

WBAI’s financial crisis continues. The station was able to pay staff severance and other bills, but still owes $150,000 (3-months rent) to the Empire State Building which houses WBAI’s transmitter. Revenue in the current pledge drive is falling far short. Last year we had an even larger overall debt. But through your generosity, monies were raised and the transmitter was protected. Without the transmitter, we have no station.

         We urge you to donate as generously as you can:

•     Call 212-209-2950 (the Call Center).
•     Make a secure online credit/debit card donation at give2wbai.org
•     Mail a check or money order (with “Transmitter Fund” in the subject line) to:

WBAI
Att: Development
388 Atlantic Avenue
Brooklyn, NY 11217

Beyond this immediate crisis, board members, staff, and listeners have put forward plans to help keep the station sustainable, short- and long-term. We are working collectively and considering many points of view. We welcome any suggestions you may have (info@justiceunity.org).

Thanks for your continued support.
