KPFA, part of the listener-supported Pacifica chain that includes WBAI in New York and KPFK in Los Angeles, is also now taking corporate money. Both these decisions were done with no input from listeners, local boards, or anyone else. Democracy Now is a hugely popular show as well as major fundraiser for KPFA so [...] The purges continue. The lunatics have taken over Pacifica Doug Henwood (his superb show on WBAI was killed last week) The idiots and maniacs who are now running Pacifica have decided to lay off the entire staff of the excellent KPFA Morning Show and to take it off the air: The show is the station’s [...] Doug Henwood had one of the good shows at WBAI, so of course it had to go.

Some said the board should seat her, then relay info about meetings to her and wait months for the reply. Actually, I [...] The precise moment when something iconic is headed to go downhill is called “jumping the shark,” from the Happy Days episode where Fonzie jumped over a shark on water skis. Pacifica, who owns presumably left-wing and independent radio stations WBAI, KPFK, and KPFA, has gone screaming off the edge. Again. But one wonders if [...] First off, Cooper details (Pt. 1, Pt. 2) how listenership for KPFK has dropped off a cliff.
