WHAT'S GOING ON
Not only do we have new studio's this month, but also new programs (ouch!). Here are some.
"Women of tne Press" is a series of conversations with female journalists working in New York. Danice Bordett speaks with Mary Breasted of the Village Voice, Me.ba Tolliver of WABC-TV, Cnarlotte Curtis of the Times, and Harriet Van Home of the Post, Wednesdays at 10:15 P.M. An old and much-missed series. returns witn Charles Hob- son's Black Music, tnis montn on tne 7th at 11 P.M. Speak- ing of returns, "Environmental Outrages" will be back, Mondays at 1 P.M., in response to listener requests. A new commentary begins this month, from the Jewisn Defense League, Thursdays at 5:45 P.M.
Tnere are also two important additions to our art and music programming. Tuesday evenings at 11 is the time for a series of performances of Schubert Lieder by Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau; Thursdays at 3:30 P.M. is the hour for a new weekly series of interest to artists. In April it will in- clude programs on Figurative Art, dance criticism, and whether— and in what form— art will survive.
April • 1971 Volume 12, Number 4
YOUR MONEY
It has finally happened. We've moved. The programs listed in this month's Folio are coming to you from our new building on 62nd Street, and after two years the entire operation that is WBAI is all under one roof. Now we have to worry about keeping that roof safely over our collective head. The new building cost about $250,000. So far we've raised $118,875 and borrowed another $100,000. That means we must raise another $31,125 quickly, and pay back the loan during the next nine months— which should keep us busy enough. Meanwhile we also have to operate the station, and this month our goal is $36,000.
Keeping WBAI healthy, though, is more than simply raising money. It involves creating a climate that makes our very special kind of programming possible, and making sure that we have absolute freedom to go where we will— accountable only to our listener-sponsors. This is the way we have operated the past 11 years, and as we move into our new quarters we are reaffirming this policy as strongly as possible.
Our expansion has placed a strain on the precarious financial structure that supports listener-sponsored radio in New York. This has happened at the same time that interest in the possibilities of radio have grown. People are becoming increasingly aware of what most of us have known— that radio has great flexibility, simplicity, the power to stimulate the imagination and to reach a mass audience at relatively low cost. We think this bodes well for Pacifica Radio. We have always felt that listener-sponsorship is not the incidental means of support for this station, but the absolutely essential ingredient of our survival and identity. To grow and remain listener-sponsored is the great challenge. To demonstrate that people will pay for freedom of speech, and freedom from pap, and for the freedom to experiment in the use of this medium is both our critical test and our chief stimulus. It is the thing that makes us both financially unorthodox and keeps us free. After eleven years of operation, we wish to rededicate our- selves to listener-sponsored radio.
You can be sure, therefore, that (as has always been the case) the only pressures on WBAI's programming are imposed either by us or by you. By us in the form of quality and relevance; by you in the sense that ultimately your support determines how far we can go.
Our new building has three times the physical space and five times the production capacity of our old area on 39th Street. We hope to match the new space and equipment with greater creativity and sophistication and come up with programs that are more interesting, more creative, and more relevant.
But none of it is possible without your continued support. You hold the answer to the question of how much we can do, how strong we can become. Listener-sponsored radio is a partnership between us and you, without intermediaries.
You can help by introducing friends to Pacifica Radio in New York City, in the hope they'll also join this ongoing experiment by becoming subscribers. (Coupon on back cover).

MONDAY 4-5
MOVING DAY! A CELEBRATION
Today is the official opening of WBAI's new station on 62nd Street. We've planned it as a broadcast event, so the place to enjoy it is at home — on the radio. Things are still pretty chaotic, and we need time to get the bugs out. So give us a month before coming in to see the new station (except of course for Free Music Store programs). When things are working smoothly, we'll let you know how to arrange a tour. The times listed for today's special events are approximate, and more details will be announced in the weeks preceeding today. So listen to our air for more information.
7:30- IN THE BEGINNING with Larry Josephson.
9:30- NUDE PAPER SERMON The music theater work of Eric
Salzman, WBAI's Music Director. (4-2) 10:30- COUNTRY MUSIC (4-4) 11:00- COMMENTARY: Black Awareness. (4-2) 11:30- CONTINUED TOMORROW See 4-1 listing.

Meeting the media for WBAI will be Dr. Carolyn Goodman, Chairman of the WBAI Board; Station Manager Ed Goodman; Bob Kuttner, Program Director; and Larry Joseph- son, who has coordinated the technical work involved in the design and construction of the new studios. The subject of the Press conference will be WBAI's course for the future.
1:30 From now until 6 P.M., a Super Collage of the Best of
WBAI, including some archive programs, some live interviews with the old-time Pacifica people (former staff who made the station go in its early days), and famous and interesting friends of WBAI.

7:15 The Dedication of WBAI's New Station: George Fox, the
member of our Board of Directors who most directly saw the project through, officiates at this brief ceremony.
7:30 Public Affairs Special This one really is— for the entire PA staff will participate in a program on WBAI and events. How they interact, why we do what we do, and appropriate ex- amples of what we've done. And a special guest star: News Director Paul Fischer will explain how he does it. (This pro- gram may well include reports of activities commemorating the anniversary of Martin Luther King's death (April 1-4).
9:00 The Free Music Store Live, from the Church. Details to be announced.
Midnight The Ultimate All Night Show in which Fass meets Post and Electra and Lester and others for a reminiscence about a decade of alternate radio.
This official opening will be followed by a week of celebration. There will be a Free Music Store event almost every night at the WBAI Church. Two special concerts will be held at Hunter College's Assembly Hall on April 9 and 12. Pete Seeger, Artie and Happy Traum, and Dave Bromberg will be among those performing on April 12. We hope you will be able to join us in one or more of the weeks special events so that you can share in the excitement.
ROBERT GOODMAN (1914-1969) President of Pacifica Foundation (1967-1969)
We have not forgotten.
This month, the Robert Goodman Memorial Broadcast Center (our new studios) will open and be dedicated. It was through his vision and hard work that we acquired our church and set the plans for its conversion to a radio station. We're only sorry he's not here to see it.

As we go to press, it is expected that today will mark the first major action in the Spring anti-war offensive. Planned activities include a march on Washington and rally, with related activities in other cities across the nation. As in the past, WBAI will present live and com- plete coverage of events in Washington, with reports on activities elsewhere from the other Pacifica stations and affiliates. Reporting from Washington will be Margot Adler, Bob Kuttner, Paul Fischer, and as many other members of the Public Affairs staff as are needed to cover the day's events. Our plan calls for continuous live coverage beginning at noon and lasting as long as is necessary. This means reports from the line of march, the rally site, our Washington Bureau, plus national cov- erage coordinated by our staff in New York. WBAI will report the expected week-long anti-war offensive, pre- empting regular programming as is required.
