Well, if KPFA wont do it, lets get Berkeley Liberation Radio (BLR).

You know, I am constantly reading articles on Indybay regarding KPFA, but never see anything about BLR. Why?

It's no wonder that their listenership is so low. Pirate radio is actually grounded in the community, but when the community snubs it's nose and ignores it, entailing it's continuation is put on the backs of a miniscule, handful of people-- who, although, fortunately are some extremely dedicated, spirited activists-- it's likely a project that could crash at any point, and probably, eventually will soon. But the community to which they reach out could care less.


When BLR started, the FCC lashed out and nearly crushed it. It''s amazing the repression didn't altogether succeed, given that so many of those professing to be radicals, were too busy content with KPFA. That's because KPFA is already established, and most of the listeners like the fact that they don't really have to do anything-- they can feel good that they give some money once in awhile.
