Bad things are afoot in Atlanta. Various factions are trying to take over some or all of the programming on WREK, the Georgia Tech student station. I've glancingly mentioned Georgia Public Broadcasting's attempt to air the commodity NPR programming over WREK's signal during weekdays. The GT Athletic Association, which cares nothing about radio except for those times when they have a game to air, also wants to exert some form of greater control. I haven't gotten wildly involved in defending WREK this time. I've fought lots of these fights and I'm just weary. I support them in principle and although I was not a signatory to the recent letter to the administration that's just from my failing to respond to email. I will probably write my own letter soon.

An alumnus named John Nestor has set up a blog about the whole issue if you want to follow these events and/or help out.
