As Seen On TV - New York Now
thirteen/WNET and WLIW
This week's New York Now features a story about the proposed Atlantic Yards project. Airing 1 p.m. on Saturday (today) on thirteen/WNET and Sunday (tomorrow), at 7:00am on WLIW Channel 21.
This Week on New York Now
On this week’s NY NOW, Karen DeWitt of New York State Public Radio and Jay Gallagher of Gannett News Service join Susan to talk about end-of-session priorities, and the continued rancor between the Governor & Majority Leader.
Then we travel to Brooklyn where some residents of the Prospect Heights and Fort Green neighborhoods are angry over a planned mega-development spearheaded by Bruce Ratner. Ratner and the state could use eminent domain to displace these residents.
But this isn’t your typical David & Goliath story: Bertha Lewis of the social justice organization ACORN supports Ratner’s plan because he’s committing a percentage of his Atlantic Yards development to below-market-rate housing.
NoLandGrab: A high of 71 degrees is predicted in Brooklyn today. Maybe it's a good idea to keep informed by recording this one and watching it tonight. And yes, the link below is to WMHT in Troy, New York. They were nice enough to post a description of the program.
