One of the great radio hosts in America, Vin Scelsa, has decided to stop alowing his shows on New York’s WFUV from being broadcasted online. As a fan who has grown up with and thinks the world of him, this is indeed sad news.
According to Vin:
“I have made my decision to withdraw my material completely from the Internet in protest of the government’s interference with my artistic freedom to create my show in a manner determined by me – not Congress, the “music industry” or a pack of lawyers. I have not spent 35 years in broadcast radio fighting for my right to artistic freedom only to give in at this point to a piece of legal idiocy.”
