I am a sometimes listener, sometimes member of WFUV and have watched the FCC and Bronx Botanical Garden tug-of-war over, what I thought quite intelligently designed and "pretty" radio antenna that was going up on the small green space between the road and the sideline of the Fordham University football field (the team has a tug-of-war with a Bronx Zoo elephant at the beginning of the season). Michael Powell, (General and former Sec. of State Colin Powell's son) has also left the Bush admin and the antenna has been moved to the roof of Montefiore Hospital, who offered when the Botanical Garden found the antenna eleven (11') too close to it's view of the plants. One of its DJ's when the antenna clung to a chapel tower was actor Alan Alda. I can't think of a better use of "payola" money, they have a wonderful dedicated station, and the longest running sports broadcast in the country, and have introduced and continue to broadcast some wonderful performers.
