Community Radio in Crisis
Posted in Health on 11/10/2010 02:48 pm by adminDr Kokayi and Faybiene air their final Global Medicine Review program (an eight year stretch) and Dr Kokayi takes issue with the direction that the station is moving and what this means for the listening audience. Dr Kokayi’s and Dr Ali’s combined greater than sixty years of clinical experience doing integrative medicine was placed at the 11PM hour with both shows being narrowed down to thirty minutes as part of an arrangement to bring Gary Null back to the noon time hour five days a week. The program is interrupted by station management because of the nature of Dr Kokayi’s remarks but Dr Kokayi convinces management that he and Faybiene should be allowed to finish their program. During this interlude Dr Kokayi learns from Program Director Tony Bates that he came to New York with the intention of bringing Gary Null back on the air. Callers’ comments and farewells are heard for the second half of the program and Faybiene shares two poems.
