I'd say it made a pretty big difference.

Tghe pro-occupy program director is probably going to be fired despite the occupation, and I don't know if we're actually going to be able to get any seats added TO the board, but judging by the listener's response we're likely to sweep the board elections next year.

As of now, we've brought some serious attention to the station, so at the very least we've secured Ocupy-related programming ON the station.

But beyond that, engaging in creative direct action like this is just what the movement needs. Occupations of other media sources are good ideas IMHO, but they need to be more planned and less spur of the moment in the future. I would LOVE to Occupy Fox or MSNBC or CBS, but we'd need employee support for that, otherwise we'd be arrested pretty quickly.

If nothing else we've shown that occupy is both committed and autonomous of mainstream liberalism, which is good because mainstream liberalism is pretty much useless.
