“And Congressional appropriators’ frustration with funding multiple PBS and NPR stations in the same media markets, including in Atlanta, never led CPB to make changes on its own.”
The AJC was complicit in Atlanta’s public media competition despite #SaveWRAS protests.

How I'd Fix Atlanta: Break up Big Cox.
#SaveWRAS, move Politically Georgia to WSB where Cox could have put it 10 years ago instead of colluding with GPB to steal Album 88, keep public broadcasters Cox free, appoint an AJC Ombudsman able to report on conflicts of interest.

This screenshot came up as a Facebook Memory today. 9 years ago was about 1 year into GPB's takeover of WRAS and #SaveWRAS stickers were all over town. GPB had canceled their May 2015 board meeting after a contentious Jan. one.

On this day ten years ago “the Agreement” between state-run Georgia Public Broadcasting and Georgia State University was announced sparking the #SaveWRAS campus protests.
While vastly different in tone and scope to protests over Israel and Gaza...

"Uri also leapfrogs over a long list of contemporary fuckups and questionable calls that could explain the growing public distrust that concerns him."
For those of us who fought to #SaveWRAS 2 ys. before Trump this rings true.

Public Radio in Cox City.
What a shameless group of self-serving insiders
#SaveWRAS already.
And start holding @CoxEnterprises
accountable for... Anything.

I have some questions out to both GPB and the AJC but this is a bit self-serving.
Political Rewind debuted with an interview with Mayor Kasim Reed amid ongoing #SaveWRAS protests. Those were a forerunner to the current distrust of "The Atlanta Way."

I wrote about what might have led to the cancellation of GPB’s Political Rewind and ouster of Bill Nigut & what it means for Georgians: We will be deprived of a bastion of civility and informed discussion ahead of a race for the White House that could hinge on our state. #gapol

Oh. The one show that kept it even remotely different from WABE..? NOW is the time to give back some hours to the students of GSU and @album88atlanta 🎶while they are cutting costs. #SaveWRAS

They gentrified college radio with no one in city government objecting, despite the #SaveWRAS campaign.
Atlanta leaders are practically inviting populist backlashes.
The Atlanta Way is now seen openly described as undemocratic and corrupt.

"“There’s no farm team anymore in radio,” Winslow told AJC media reporter Rodney Ho. “We wanted to do something to give back. We want to reach out to college kids who want to go into broadcasting...”"
Uh, maybe y'all should demand to #SaveWRAS

If the @atlpressclub and Mayor @andreforatlanta want Atlanta = a music city they should kick GPB off @album88atlanta. A vibrant college radio station giving new and local artists airplay is beats a 2nd NPR affiliate simulcasting the 1st.

College radio, the original alternative to commercial radio, also serves as an alternative to Spotify.
#SaveWRAS
One solution: find your local college radio station and keep it locked! it's okay and even exciting to listen to music selected by a human that's not you, rather than an equation. Dial around in the upper 80s-low 90s and you will likely hit it (or stream from their website)

This is a fun thread!
Teya Ryan, a genuine Delores Umbridge if there ever was, of @gpbnews @mygpb tries to thread the needle of #GaPol, regardless of how despised she is for stealing @GeorgiaStateU's WRAS for GPB.
Remember: They do not control YOUR message, kids! #SaveWRAS

That particular discussion was around funds for a new radio transmitter and station in south Georgia recently approved by the FCC as part of a noncommercial FM expansion window. So a new station, not one stolen from college kids.
