News Department Does Double Duty and produces twice the number of weekday programming without charging KPFA for overtime. New Up Front program raises $17,000 in one day alone. Special thanks to Brian Edwards-Tiekert, Aileen Alfandary, John Hamilton, Laura Prives, and others.

The KPFA Local Station Board today passed a resolution thanking and congratulating the General Manager, staff, and volunteers for the fund drive that just ended that raised $47,000 over the goal -- and still counting as online donations keep coming in. In particular, we thanked the news department and staff who are doing double-duty and producing twice the number of weekday hours of programming without being paid anything extra.

Exact wording will be in our minutes.
