Listen live at 4:30 p.m EDT on MAIN-FM 103.5, or live-stream at www.main-fm.org.

For almost 20 years, David Barsamian tried to get the voices of
“Alternative Radio” – voices like  Howard Zinn, Molly Ivins, Noam
Chomsky and Naomi Klein – on the local public airwaves in Asheville,
N.C.  Hear what David has to say about the possible shutdown of
MAIN-FM.

To Asheville-area fans of the Thom Hartman Show on MAIN-FM:

Hello,

As you may know from my previous email, Thom Hartmann has moved his
entire show to Washington DC. Engineers have been working 24/7 since
Friday to ensure Thom's studio would be ready to go tomorrow, with
streams ready today, but unfortunately they were unable to complete
this 100%, and the noncommercial live stream is down today.

I just spoke with Thom and he indicated the stream will be ready in
time for tomorrow's broadcast. Please accept Thom's apologies; as
you can imagine, moving his entire operation across the country
involves many components, and I know they're working very long days
to get everything set as soon as possible.

Feel free to let me know if you have any questions,

David Pakman
