Program changes are not under consideration at this time. The only issue
under consideration is cuts due to income shortfall.

FYI-your reminder that “KPFA staff & unpaid staff please maintain your
integrity, dignity, & professionalism at all times” is wise advice.
However, know this—that I and many of my on-air colleagues were
dismayed and offended that our names were not included in the list of
those producers of what most of us consider to be the best and, not
coincidentally most supported programs KPFA is airing—which the LSB
recommended be laid-off, and that our continued participation should
also be considered in whatever decision is reached.
Best,
Glenn Reeder, co-anchor
