In this new version of our popular site, we’ve worked hard at returning to the basics, to showing you what we do best: radio. Our new home page now prominently features the remarkable content that WBAI has delivered to the New York area for decades – a progressive and modern take on the world, politics, society, the arts, music, health and science.
This important and unique radio voice inspired a number of the new features, including one-click-access to listen to our live broadcast, a selection of interesting and important upcoming shows that changes every day, plus a collection of some of the most notable recent shows from the WBAI Archives. There’s also a direct link to our new Archives system, which lets you listen to shows from earlier today and shows from years in the past, by date, show or category.
We’ve also worked hard at making our site easier to read and navigate, with our new pull-down menu at the top of each page, larger type faces and fewer distracting borders and dividers. Our Flash tools and players have replaced with state-of-the-art HMTL 5 components, ensuring that they’ll run, without compatibility issues, on all platforms - from desktops to cell phones.
We’re proud of this site. It’s a new platform from which WBAI can (and will) continue to grow our offerings on the Web.
IMPORTANT: unless you clear your browser's cache, you may not see much of the new site. The home page will probably be the correct one, but all the rest of the pages may well be the copies your browser saved in order to speed up performance.
If you don't see a header at the top of any "inner page" with four colored buttons on the right and a pop-down menu to the left, you're looking at an out-of-date version of the page. Right-click on the tab and left-click "reload" or "refresh", depending on which browser you're using.
Or you can check your browser's Help to find out how to clear the entire cache. It's always a good idea to do that occasionally, as the browsers have become more and more lax about loading the newest version of pages, and the only way to force them to is to clear out the cache. You won't lose any data, just old versions of pages.
Let us know what you think. We’re always open to suggestions and comments. Feel free to contact me by clicking the "more info" button that follows – Alan Arthur Katz, Webmaster, WBAI.org.
