WFUV's folkie listeners and the New York Botanical Garden's orchid-lovers conflicted politely at yesterday's
FCC hearing in the Bronx, giving the
New York Times lots of material for cultural stereotyping. The issue: WFUV's half-built tower, which the Garden says ruins the skyline. Herewith:
WFUV's side and
the Garden's side. Nothing about the tower has been easy: its federal subsidy was held up by
First Amendment issues.
