Matthew Lasar takes on Tracy Rosenberg about KPFA Board Costs Since the network began its process of democratization in 2002, by my arithmetic, Pacifica has spent $2,424,662 on its boards. And if the organization blows about the same sum that it did in 2007 on these wasteful and internally destructive elections, the figure will edge toward $3 million....

Why you should vote for Save KPFA in the Local Station Board election Members of Pacifica’s National Board rack up tens of thousands of dollars in meeting expenses each quarter, but can’t seem to pass a budget on time. They’ve ordered their election supervisor to spend tens of thousands of dollars printing and mailing fat ballot booklets that could just as easily be posted online—even as Pacifica falls behind its payments for “Democracy Now!”. Over the years, our boardmembers have found ways to conjure up salaries and paying contracts for some of their own, eve...

Save KPFA Candidates Support Unionized Staff against the Austerity Slate ICR KPFA won’t survive unless the Progressive community realizes the seriousness of the crisis and takes action to support the station. The present majority on the LSB is tied to Pacifica bureaucracy. It resists any attempt to cut Pacifica’s costs, while supporting drastic down-sizing at KPFA. An all-volunteer station would simply be a play-thing for a narrow, ever changing slice of the left. KPFA’s mission is to be a voice for the entire progressive community – we need to find that larger audie...

Christian Rock at 101.1 FM Please help! I've always been proud to interfere with Air 1, the Christian Rock station that "owns" 101.1 FM with a Translator set up in Carmel. Now it's loud and clear at 101.1 FM. Argue and disagree with FRSC and our schedule, personalities, and collective decisions all you like... But tune in or read on for plenty of reasons to help us get back on the air rather than cede that spot on the dial to the station that brags about its success through "dropping controversial and political programs."...

Save KPFA - Lying in Public The Concerned Listeners, having renamed themselves Save KPFA, are lying to the public. Deceptive advertising on the web claims their 8-6 Humanist Hall concert with Vukani Mawethu benefits KPFA. It doesn't. Are there no consequences for trying to dupe people? They should be ashamed....
