resp:7 ::  The April issue of Folk Roots reports that World Entertainment
Network (wen.com) has ceased operations.  WEN had regular "radio shows"
prepared for them by Folk Roots editor Ian A. Anderson and London
world music DJ Charlie Gillett; they also had about ten other hosts,
and they carried Gillett's main gig, the weekly two-hour show 
"Saturday Night."  WEN lasted less than a year but while they were there
they became a major influence on my listening and shopping.
 
WEN had added no new programs after January 1, so the news that
they had joined the dot-com casualty lists isn't really a surprise.
 
The old shows still seem to be up for now.
Listen or download some of this stuff while it lasts...
