Somerville Media Center knew back in Curtatone's Day they were being removed! No forward thinking

 Mr Lynch Evicted in Union Square....In Search of Curtatone's Backside....Nellie News Editor out in the street  

Somerville voted out my colleague, Wendy Blom, (out of jealousy) and it all went to hell in a handbasket. 

 

If Wendy was still in Somerville I would have chosen to stay, but - instead - they had a foul-mouthed "newsman" making sexual comments in a facility with little children running around. 

 

He was fixated on his guest, mayor Joe Curtatone, and by telling me about his sexual desires for the then-mayor, he sexually harassed me.

 

 I did not want to hear it, it wasn't funny, it was sick. 

 

And they wonder why they've just been evicted out of Union Square after 40 years there. 

 

What a damn clown show. 

 

Heather Mack has a horrible history from the previous radio station she was at.  Her malfeasance continues in Somerville.

It's a damn mess.

 

Somerville, Winchester, Medford and Malden have incompetent staff and board members (well, no longer in Medford, just a censorship-addicted mayor.) We've all known that former mayor Joe Curtatone was going to evict SMC, but they wait until the last minute and have nowhere to go. 

 

What lunacy. https://medfordinformationcentral.blogspot.com/.../mr... It's a clown show, and Somerville was one of the best.

August 10, 2023   Friends, producers, and parents in our youth program:   The City of Somerville has ordered the Somerville Media Center to leave 90 Union Square by August 31.    We will be forced to cease operations here on that date.   We are working with our partners to find temporary locations for our youth program,  our producers, our gallery,  and all the art and media our members produce.        SCATV and Boston Free Radio will continue to broadcast, and we will work with producers get their programming on air.    We will extend the membership of producers whose access is interrupted while we will be closed to the public.    We are also negotiating an agreement with the city to fund a move to a new permanent home.    Although we have selected a new location, we will not be able to begin operations there before August 31. We will share further details as soon as possible.    SMC started in 1983 as the first community access television station in Massachusetts. Thirty-eight years ago, at the direction of then-Mayor Eugene Brune, the City of Somerville renovated the former firehouse in the center of Union Square to create television studios to be run by the community. SMC was the site of the first national teleconference for the deaf, the first lesbian soap opera on access TV, and some of the earliest panels on transgender youth. It was also the starting point for such treasured recording artists as Tracy Chapman, and it remains the home of the longest continuously produced access show in the United States, Dead Air Live. We are now SMC, with an internet radio station (Boston Free Radio) and a thriving youth program.   I will be available at 90 Union Square, 617-628-8826, and at director@somervillemedia.org to answer questions. This is a truly difficult time for our community, but I have faith in the artists of Somerville: We will find a way forward.   Yours,  Kat Powers, Executive Director, SMC
