Defend whom? The old Pacifica board? Marc didn't - he thought they were a gang of third-rate hacks. As do I. What I'm concerned about is that the Restoration will cause people to overlook the dwindling and aging audience. I'm constantly running into people who cheered the dissidents when they were dissidents and now cheer their victory, only to admit that they never listen to a Pacifica station. A peak listenership of 20,000 or so in a market of 20 million is pretty damned pathetic. In the mid-70s, WBAI was the highest-rated FM station in NYC.
