Bring Back Local Community News Shows/End Merged KPFA-KPFK Merged Nightly News Show
A petition campaign to demand the end of the merged evening news program between KPFA and KPFK has begun. The merger of the two stations evening news has meant a reduction of local community news in both regions. The need to have more local and community news and information on KPFA and KPFB is critical.
Bring Back Local Community News Shows/End Merged KPFA-KPFK Merged Nightly News Show
We the following members and listeners of KPFA, KPFK, and supporters of the Pacifica
Foundation call for the end of the merged Local News shows on KPFA and KPFK and for
the return of the locally based nightly news reports in Southern and Northern California.
In each region, with more than 10 million people, the need for more community news has been
harmed by merging the two news hours into a one hour show. The News has become homogenized
and more and more resembles NPR, and not the Pacifica activist history.
We are not opposed to a joint news show combining news from Southern
California and Northern California, but it should be above and beyond the
needed Local News programs. We do believe that this merger of the nightly
News shows has led to a reduction of local news reports from both regions.
And this is unacceptable for the listeners and supporters of KPFA/KPFK and
Pacifica. We call on the Executive Director, Programming Directors and the PNB to take
action to bring back an hour of local community news without the merged News format.
