     Ok, now I'm gonna gripe

     For the past several weeks, WUSB Radio, 90.1 fm has not been airing in

     its entirety, or in some cases even at all, the Science Fiction Forum's

     radio show Faster than Light Radio. I would like to call on all

     forumites to unite and protest. This is our radio show. We make the

     unusual usual, and the Bizarre zarre, and now our loyal listners are

     forced to listen to "the Tipsey Tango" yes that is what they played

     instead of our show last monday!!!!!

     Please write to WUSB radio on our behalf, and tell them you are as

     unhappy as I am that they've taken the only decent program that station

     offers off the air.

     We have complained to the station many times and they always give us

     excuses about equipment failure, human error and other bogus lines, but

     they have done nothing to rectify the situation. We need help from the

     science fiction community. Let them know how you feel about this.

     Write to WUSB radio at:

     WUSB Radio Station

     State University of NY at Stony Brook

     Stony Brook, NY 11794

     Thank you very much for taking the time to listen to my rant, and for

     supporting your fellpw forumites in our attempts to bring Sci-fi and

     Fantasy to the masses.

         Despite Colleen's frustration, which I can understand, she has made
         a

         few mistakes. First and foremost, FTL Radio is hardly "the only
         decent

         program that station offers." Nor is it the only science fiction

         program. Destinies-The Voice of Science Fiction, the Forum's
         original

         radio show (since 1983), continues to air every Friday at 11:30 PM,

         bringing radio drama, audiobook samplers, music, news, reviews,

         interviews, and some surprises to all SF fans in the listening area.

         And, there has been a problem with tapes disappearing at the station

         lately. Two of my last 4 shows have either been erased or stolen. I

         would suggest a call to either the Program Director or the General

         Manager to try to set up a way to protect your tapes, Colleen.

         Best of all possible Destinies,

         Howard
