[edit] Broadcasting

Alexander and John Batchelor began broadcasting "Batchelor and Alexander" on WABC in New York on the night after the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the United States. ABC News asked the pair to host the show until Osama bin Laden was either killed or captured. [3] However, on or about September 8, 2001, John Batchelor and Paul Alexander were broadcasting on WABC radio under a show name different from their subsequent, formal program; the September 8 show was a serious discussion on both Al-Qaeda and the unanswered U.S. government response to the USS Cole bombing [4].

Bathelor and Alexendar began first as a Sunday and then later as a Saturday evening show on WABC. The Saturday show started in the summer of 2001, basically to discuss conspiracies. The first show featured the JFK assaination. A subsequent show, discussed the conspiracy surrounding the downing of TWA Flight 800 -- was it a missile attack?

Alexander left the show in December 2003 to pursue work as a playwright [5] and biographer. [6]

The Jerusalem Post has an audio archive of "Batchelor and Alexander" segments from 2002 and 2003 that deal with Israel and the Middle East. [7]
