Maureen,

Ever thought of podcasting? You basically have all the infrastructure 
in place, its simply a matter of submitting your streams to iTunes or 
podcastalley.

http://www.apple.com/itunes/store/podcaststechspecs.html

The good part is you're not subject to the FCC. Also, you can edit 
your show, aren't bound to set timelines, and can do it during a more 
convenient time. The bad part is you can't really take call-ins 
unless they're prearranged.

Just prior to the first FCC visit to WYGG, I took an office job. My 
boss allows me to work four weekdays and Saturday, affording me one 
weekday to do my freelancing. It's working out quite well. The same

office had asked the FCC's enforcement bureau to look into it. If I

This isn't satisfactory since the station's temporary permit expires

but that permission expires in early April. The management gradually 
reintroduced programming to the station, with the exception of my 
show. Henry told me in March that he’s afraid that my show is the 
real target of the FCC’s attentions. (Desena visited again at the

So why haven't you had the electronic chip, inserted in your arm, huh?
  No different, than metal detectors?  Bush has you people turned into
the sheep, you are!  What ever happened to Civil Liberties or the
Constitution?  Just so happens that this district is majority Black! 
Ever heard of the drug experiments done on Black Men at Tuskeegee,
called "The Tuskeegee Experiment"?  Look, go into Deal and Avon first
and see what kind of reception, you'll get! Over 2 million Black men
and women are incarcerated for non-violent offenses over treatment in
the case of drugs.  So instead of slavery, black men and women might
as well be in China for the 10 cents an hour they make for more than
making license plates!  It's called "The Prison Industrial Complex"!
The 1964 and 1965 Civil rights acts have been reversed to re-enslave
us, thanks to Ronald Reagan.  Do your own kids, first, not OURS!

2007-04-03 Thread Mike Hemeon
Maureen, 
   
  I wonder what FCC rule that could be? The Fairness Doctrine hasn't been 
enforced by the FCC for years. The FCC cannot censor a station it is one of the 
reasons that there haven't been that many successful challenges to broadcast 
licenses during license renewal anymore.  Prior to 1996, groups would 
challenge, and sometimes succeed in getting a license away from a licensee 
because they didn't serve the community. 
   
  What exactly has the the station done? Why aren't there any notices of 
apparent violation or fines? 
   
  Perhaps they should turn in their license and just become a pirate station 
the FCC doesn't seem to care about them. In fact lately they get special 
treatment.

February of 2007.
  
  Desena told Henry he’d have to move the station, which he did during 
January.  The station was relocated to a house owned by and adjacent to the 
French Haitian church at 414 Asbury Ave. The FCC granted a temporary permit to 
allow the station back up on the air, but that permission expires in early 
April. The management gradually reintroduced programming to the station, with 
the exception of my show. Henry told me in March that he’s afraid that my

Bryant surrenders passport, posts bond

(http://app.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?Date=20070403&Category=NEWS&ArtNo=70403023&SectionCat=&Template=printart#comments)
  
TRENTON — Indicted state Sen. Wayne Bryant, D-Lawnside, made his first  
appearance today in federal court, where he posted a $250,000 personal  
recognizance bond and surrendered his passport.

Bryant, who faces fraud  and bribery charges, does not have to put up the 
cash but agrees to be  responsible for that amount if he fails to show up to 
court as  required.

During the hearing before U.S. District Judge John J. Hughes,  Bryant was 
told he faces 150 years in prison while R. Michael Gallagher, a  former dean at 
the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey, faces 220  years in 
prison on the same federal charges.

Bryant was told he could  only travel within New Jersey and eastern 
Pennsylvania. Gallagher surrendered  his passport, a 30-year-old shotgun and 
was told 
his travel was restricted to  New Jersey, eastern Pennsylvania and Florida.

The two men were to leave  the courthouse this morning and be taken to FBI 
headquarters in Hamilton to be  fingerprinted.
