KPFK Updating: a coup? or failure? or....
another tired KPFK payor
2015-10-26 12:04 AM
KPFK may be the vital part of Pacifica's failure and the maybe sell-off to privatize a take-over...
or only a part of Pacifica's failures in administrative management,
or any competent oversight,
or their following CA state required audits and elections,
and honest business practices, accounting, and many more lapses...that have already occurred.
Updating some info for what is barely revealed to paid-up KPFK stakeholders. (text/plain)

KPFK programmer of important political interviews and one of the only-4 paid staff programmers on the station expresses his concerns and reveals his experiences with the new Gen'l Mgr. Recent changes to reduce staff work time may be the final 'shoe to drop' that will break whatever all stakeholders liked and paid for at Our Radio Station - paid for by listener-stakeholders. Excerpts of his latest revelations and plea is below. (text/plain)
KPFK Work Reductions ....signs of an ending now, so soon ?
a dismayed KPFK listener
2015-08-18 5:30 PM
- KPFK has been on air radio 'plugging' begging pleading irritating and repeating for a whole month, to not enough avail. Results are maybe 1/2 of their [pre-set] goal. And who wants to listen to same-old infomercials repeated endlessly....instead of any 'regular programming'. Why pay forr this onslaught? Then notice of staffs being reduced hours, as program-staff work-times are also being reduced when some New-fangled ' gen'l mgr' decides she liles extreme & factually unsubstantiated views better....
and... more to come

He wrote a truthful explanation of what is happening to programming and what he said about this also on-air, and has been duly threatened.
Anyone concerned over such unreasonable acts at Our Radio Stattion should write to the current new GM at KPFK.org and state your views, concerns, and or willingness to continue pledging $$$.... or not. His emailed letter is below: (text/plain)

KPFK RADIO is essential to Pacifica, who also umbrellas KPFA that may be falling away
KPFK loyalist
2015-08-08 2:26 AM
KPFK is the prime radio station of 5 in Pacifica. KPFA in Berkeley seems to be acting illegally or secretly to separate OUT and away from Pacifica with 1 faction hiding their moves. This is here a repost to inform those who want KPFK in LA to continue and not fall prey to tactics used at it's sister station. Beware non-transparent games even within 'non-profit' corporations owned by stakeholders [ funders, pledge $ givers].this could be a warning of what may also be gamed with KPFKs existence. Learn more and share it too. (text/plain)

"Velasco suffered bruises and may have a broken leg", (Salinas Police Chief) McMillin said at the very end of an report defending the latest police aggression against an already restrained subject.
