AM programming undermines KPFA fund drive; KFCF returns arts programming cancelled by KPFA
KPFA’s fund drive ran five days longer than the last fall’s fund drive, but still fell $80,000 short of goal. The shortfall and overrun are almost entirely attributable to the change in KPFA’s morning lineup. The hours of 6-10AM raised an average of $8526 per day less than last fall – over the course of the drive, that adds up to a deficit of $145,000. Fundraising levels stayed roughly equivalent to the last drive in all other timeslots.

Meanwhile, after KPFA management scrapped the station’s long-running Sunday night arts and drama programming without any listener or local board consultation, listeners complained but management refused to budge.
Now, the shows KPFA management put on the air – TwitWit and The Week Starts Here — have gotten the thumbs down at Fresno’s KFCF, where they have been removed and the arts programming restored.
While KFCF airs much of KPFA’s programming, it is independently run by the Fresno Free College Foundation. KFCF’s Program Needs Assessment Committee recommended that LA Theater Works be returned to the 7 PM Sunday night slot.

Except they didn't. They still came up short. By a larger amount. On a smaller goal.
Which means all this screaming has nothing to do with reality.
You can't save anything if all you have on offer is a tissue of lies and distortion. That's all there is from the savekpfa and kpfaworker.org crowds.
That is how they lost a million dollars in two years. Making stuff up.
KPFA needs better than that.
Then common sense indicates this year's fall fund drive nets more income after expenses than last year's.
