Beginning Monday Night Jan 11, “Something’s Happening!” ...
[ = a program which for many years previously was on Mon-Thurs from
12 M to 6 am [with many varied topics, voices, educational and newly emerging speakers presented here , but now sudden reversals are mandated without any explanations from Gen'l Mgr and cohorts } .....
and so these programs now will be on 3 hours a night instead -
from 3 am to 6am.

The 12 M to -3am time slot will feature other new programmers with their selected music and comedy programs for 'a 13 week trial.'

[ anyone with comments questions and concerns can be Active, and express their own views on these sudden changes - these can be directed to : the current General Manager - Leslie Radford - or her deputies

re program: “SOMETHING’S HAPPENING!” ON THE WEB
 
KPFK can be heard streaming live online at http://www.kpfk.org/ and click on ‘Listen Live.’ Times are Pacific Time. Program times for “Something’s Happening!” are approximate but close and “Monday night” is legally Tuesday morning et seq.
 

 
AUDIO ARCHIVES
 
We lost our webmaster and the audio archives is only carrying a few pre-selected programs, not including "Something's Happening!" We regret the loss of our archives audience. At this writing it is starting and stopping but starting again.
 

 
WHAT HAPPENED?
 
Any program information not included in the program guide – guests, websites, contact information, music and comedy breaks, etc. can be found later at http://www.somethingshappening.com and click on ‘what happened?’
