Hear candidates from the Rescue Pacifica affinity group who will present why they are running in the KPFA, Local Station Board election.
Join us as we have a revealing discussion about the on-going divisive activities disrupting the Berkeley, CA based public/community based radio station KPFA (94.1FM), and their national organization Pacifica. For years mismanagement has plagued northern California's only Progressive/Left community radio station with near bankruptcy, and watered down neoLiberal reporting and programming. Many people on the side of rescuing KPFA and Pacifica have struggled over the years to avoid deliberate bankruptcy which which favors a transition to a corporate advertising model.

KPFA management refuses to have reports and discussions on the air about what is happening at the station as it does more strip programming and NPR type shows. The manager refuses to make regular reports to the listeners.

§KPFA Slate "United For Community Radio" Banned Video Taping Of LSB Public Meetings

by Friends of KPFA and Santa Clara County Green

Tue, Aug 6, 2019 12:07AM

The pro-management KFPA United For Community Radio supporters banned the video taping of public meetings of the KPFA local station board. They also voted unanimously to take the station and network into bankruptcy where they hoped a judge would turn the station over to them to operate. They had set up. a secret foundation to run the station if it went bankrupt.
The same grouping has also refused to have either board meetings or KPFA Town Hall meetings in the the South Bay and other listener areas so supporters can speak out on what they. want to see at the station.

§Pacifica

If one did not know better, one would think this was a deliberate disinformation campaign waged by sinister forces who would love to see KPFA disappear from the airwaves. For the past five years, KPFA’s management has done a splendid job of not only stabilizing the station financially and interpersonally, but it has continued to bring the station into the 21st-century.
In contrast, if you examine the other four stations in the Pacifica radio network, you will find a multitude of problems, both financially and programmatically, as well as management problems. Please do your homework before you start printing such garbage. It is disappointing to see you guys do this.
