Spiritual Mafia  Bath Boy   Favoriting Al Fresco    It's unlikely that Spiritual Mafia had Henry Cavill's Geralt of Rivia (aka "The Witcher") in mind when they wrote this song, but posting some HOTT MEDIEVAL MANCANDY on the playlist isn't beneath me when I'm raising money for WFMU. Pledge now!

That's a prime example of what they were talking about. WFUV used to have a second stream with slightly better music. It was called The Alternate Side and it was mildly more edgy. But they got rid of it because they didn't want it to be a "distraction" from the main channel. And also because they suck.

I suppose you could consider The Mothership as the main stream, with 24 hour shows. FM broadcasting. But the streams are independent, and seem to each have its own community (I sometimes check out Sheena, there's a regular group that posts there).

i just remembered we wrote letters to the fcc to describe how wfmu was a "service" to the public and "educational"... because part of fuv's strategy was basically character assassination.
then after all the letters were written the fcc said no the *value* of wfmu will not be a consideration.
but that's how sleazy fuv was.

Also, check out this PDF (it's slow to load, though) of this ancient music magazine! It has an article about the whole radio squabble and an interview with Ken, all on page 19:

Hey Mike and Michael -- just tried to make a donation again (last week even though I got a "thank you" screen, it didn't work). I'm in Austin TX, watching to see if that number bumps to 22 in the next 10 mins or so...

The whole WFUV-WFMU battle was resolved in 1992: "The FCC rules in WFMU's favor, saying that WFMU can keep its power, but it needs to reconfigure its transmission pattern."

Doug Schulkind:

PAULS, oh no! So sorry. It’s way too easy to accidentally have your pledge get directed to the wrong show. If you look at the thank you/confirmation email for you pledge, it should say what show the pledge is credited to.

Unfortunately the way our system is set up, prizes assigned to one show can’t be given away on another.

Not exactly, Ike. We did have to cut power from 1440 Watts down to 1250 watts, so we lost a bit.

Doug let's see if these two mooks say something about my donation. If they can't confirm that it came through, I'm sure I can work it out or try again with a credit card, not bank account.
