I'm profoundly disappointed to hear that you are AGAIN cutting your
shortwave service to the Americas. The web is a great adjunct to an
international radio service, not a substitute for it. If you are
heading towards abolition of shortwave service (as it sadly appears)
why can't you upgrade your services on local radio? Berlin and Chiang
Mai both have 24/7 BBC on FM. North America has no dedicated BBC
relays, but plenty for night owls at 3am. One might think you don't
want to be heard in the Americas (Blaine Waterman, Oakland,

** U S A. We can tell you more this week about Christopher Lydon's
return to the public radio airwaves. The former WBUR (90.9) talk host
will indeed be hosting a show on UMass Lowell's WUML (91.5 Lowell),
but he'll be heard far beyond the Merrimack Valley. When "Open Source"
debuts May 30, it will be produced at Boston's WGBH (89.7), which will
also air the hourlong show Monday-Thursday at 7 PM, bumping back the
start of the "Eric in the Evening" jazz show by an hour. Starting July
4, "Open Source" will also be syndicated via Public Radio
International, which distributes WGBH's "The World" as well. And when
new studios are ready at UMass Lowell in a year or so, Lydon will move
production of the show up there (Scott Fybush, NE Radio Watch Mar 14

** U S A. An interesting story out of National Public Radio where
allegedly the Museum of Modern Art has has caused a freelance arts
reporter to be taken off the air (Barry Rueger, March 13, CAJ-list via

D'ARCY OUT AT NPR AFTER MOMA COMPLAINS --- Artnet News 3/8/05
Veteran art-news reporter David D'Arcy has been taken off the air by
National Public Radio (NPR) after the Museum of Modern Art complained
about his report on the long-running controversy over the ownership
of Egon Schiele's painting, Portrait of Wally. Though the painting
was stolen by the Nazis from Viennese dealer Lea Bondi in 1939, its
present owner, the Leopold Foundation in Vienna, refuses to return it
to Bondi's heirs, and a contentious court battle has raged ever since
the painting turned up in a 1997 MoMA exhibition.
A casual NPR listener (or reader of the transcript, which can be
found online) would probably see nothing unusual in D'Arcy's story,
which aired on Dec. 27, 2004. According to the transcript, none of
the principals in the case, including MoMA's attorney, would be
interviewed for the report. More than one source, however, was
willing to criticize -- harshly -- the museum's position in the case.
Former museum director Tom Freudenheim expressed puzzlement that
MoMA, despite being directed and chaired by Jews, allowed its "greed"
to overcome its "sense of responsibility." Two lawyers active in
cases involving Nazi art loot were also quoted with similarly
unflattering remarks, one suggesting that museums can resort to a
"war of attrition" in such lawsuits, which often involve aged
claimants.
Apparently, someone at MoMA contacted someone at NPR and demanded a
correction, which NPR currently has posted on its website: "The
government, not the museum, has custody of the artwork. The museum
says it took no position on the question of the painting's ownership.
NPR failed to give the museum a chance to answer allegations about
its motivations and actions."
