11/9/10 KPFA replaces Morning Show & Brian ET with KPFT show
At 6:30 p.m. on Monday, November 8, 2010, the whining supporters of the Concerned Listeners/Save KPFA reactionaries announced the best news we the listeners have heard on that Democratic Party promotional "newscast" in many years: The entire Morning Show and Brian Edwards Tiekert are being replaced by a Los Angeles KPFT program effective 11/9/10. For the first time in many years, we might have something better to listen to in the morning. Let's give it a try on 11/9/10.
It just shows, if you live long enough, something good will happen. There are sure to be more layoffs since the one thing that governs all else is lacking at KPFA: M-O-N-E-Y.
GOOD RIDDANCE TO THE ENTIRE MORNING SHOW AND BRIAN EDWARDS-TIEKERT
Here are the 2 most important sentences from an excellent analysis of the financial crisis at KPFA, perpetrated by the Concerned Listeners/Save KPFA Gang as they were the majority when $1 million disappeared, including the entire reserve:

"The station must reduce its staff headcount for one sad but simple reason: there is no money to continue paying all current employees, there are no reserves to cover the shortfall, and there's no possibility of making it up by cutting other expenses. As of Sept. 1, 2010, our station had the largest payroll and the largest deficit in the Pacifica network."
And below are all of the supporters of this till-tapping gang who should be removed immediately and replaced with volunteer community programming, and please reduce the evening news to a half hour and move Democracy Now to 7 a.m. with no repeats.
