Listener Comments From June 11 KPFA Board Meeting
KPFA is in serious trouble. Reports of violence and sexual harrasment suits keep emerging from a growing cloud of abuse and discontent at the cornerstone of progressive broadcasting.
Listen here to listener comments from today's meeting.
Pacifica National Board Meeting Coverage coming soon.
Berkeley progressive radio flagship, KPFA sadly, is once again in the throes of internal turmoil. Reports of violence and flying lawsuits seem to be pouring from the station on a weekly basis. The Station
Board seems incapable of even crafting a simple statement condemning the violence. Meanwhile, stale and uninteresting programming is loosing listeners who now have the choices of a vibrant KALW, Air America Radio and newcommer, KPIG from Santa Cruz. New ideas in programming also seem to be headed nowhere. Proposals for new labor programming, flounder, as weak management lacks both the skill and courage to make the necessary changes. KPFA has always been a leader in community and progressive programming.This mission is now in a state of crisis. For more on the station's problems see: http://www.indybay.org/labor/
