for those in LA who do not search and waste counted hours trying to decipher the chaos that has endangered our local Pacifica station: KPFK 90.7 FM as a strong component of the current conflicts, here is more to be shared and exposed anywhere everywhere since not everyone comes to this solo site.
[ Did you know IMC has a radio program on KPFK too, and does this mean there are alliances or deferences due to keeping that program on air too ? dunno Do the programmers read what is on their site here in LA and discuss or provide info from on-air to the website ? Or is that a 'separate affair' ? ]
