661.0. "Feminist Talk Radio 88.1FM Boston" by RUE::DOUGHERTY () Wed Jun 21 1989 15:31

    This is a general announcement and a call to women out there in
    radio land.  What issues do you want to hear discussed/debated/
    defined/etc. over the airwaves?  Who do you want to hear talking about
    these issues?
                             
    I'm part of a collective that broadcasts the only feminist talk radio
    program in the Boston area.  Below is a letter we are distributing to 
    let people know we exist.  (The current collective (200% volunteer) is 
    one year old.)  We are always open to ideas for shows and sometimes 
    have guest hosts.  
    
    We broadcast every Wedneday night at 7pm from WMBR 88.1 FM.  The
    radio station is on the MIT campus in Cambridge, MA.
    Our transmitter reaches from Rhode Island to Nashua, NH and out to 
    Worcester (theoretically) -- in good weather. 
                                                                       
    That's Feminist Talk Radio WEDNESDAY 7pm WMBR 88.1 FM
    
    **********************************************************************
               
    Since 1986, "Say it, Sister!" (SIS) has provided the Boston community
    with a call-in public affairs program presenting women's views and
    opinions on a wide range of political, economic, and cultural issues
    such as:

    
         *  reproductive rights and forced sterilization
    
         *  in-depth interviews with women artists, writers and performers
    
         *  housing and homelessness
    
         *  homophobia, age discrimination and classism
    
         *  health issues concerning the lesbian, bisexual and gay
            community and women of color
    
            . . .  and much more!
    
    As members of the SIS collective, we present our programming as a
    community forum where progressive women's voices can be heard.  A place
    to recognize our leaders, debate and define our issues and promote
    events important to the women's community.  Yet, however zealous we may
    be in our hopes to achieve this goal, *we can't do it alone*!
    
    If there is an issue that concerns you or an activity that deserves
    attention that mainstream media fails to provide, please contact us at:

    I'll post each month's schedule, updates, etc. as they become available.

661.7	How about women and athletics?	TOOK::TWARREN	Stand in the place where you work...	`Fri Jun 23 1989 19:53`	10
	I'd really be interested in the topic of women and sports. Specifically, women's progress in athletics, and athletic administration, the effects of the 1984 Grove City vs Bell decision (in regards to the narrowing of title IX), and the constant (and unjust) association with female athleticism and homosexuality.

661.9	Some answers to .7	ULTRA::WITTENBERG	Secure Systems for Insecure People	`Sat Jun 24 1989 19:14`	8
	Re .7 I believe that the "Civil Rights Restoration Act" of 87? effectively overruled the Grove City case. There's still lots to discuss of course. For a related topic, see Arthur Ashe's books on blacks in sports called "A Long Road to Glory". --David
