	KPFA
		KPFA was founded fifty years ago by pacifists who wished to promote diverse cultural expression and to increase understanding between nations and peoples.
		Moore, who has appeared on various KPFA shows throughout the years and is well-acquainted with several of the programmers, told me that the return to the air of KPFA "creates the dangerous perception that all is resolved when it is not." She told me that problems didn't suddenly arise out of a vacuum this February.
		It was while working as a KPFA programmer that Marler met and began to work with foremost archeologist Marija Gimbutas, renowned for her discovery of the existence of pre-patriarchal, Goddess-worshipping peoples.

	Socialism Today, Issue 41: Free Speech Fight at Radio KPFA
		KPFA staff and programmers have denounced the de-diversifying tactics of the Pacifica Board and Chadwick, beginning with the dismissal of Sawaya, a Lebanese-American sacked because she did not 'fit in' with the Board's goals.
		KPFA staff balked at this ultimatum by citing the need to repair the damage done to studio facilities and the neglect of the transmitter during IPSA security guard occupation of the station.
		KPFA staff and supporters openly suspect Pacifica of attempting to bankrupt the station by emptying its coffers to pay for the IPSA security guards, lawyers, and high-priced spin doctors and by returning listener pledges during the lockout.

	KPFA 's Election & Green Sunday : SF Indymedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		One of the Greens' concerns was the amount of KPFA coverage third parties get, and that was apparently why they held this discussion, appealing to the LSB candidates whom they considered most likely to hear their concerns.
		This spring a group of KPFA programmers who made shows on labor topics was banned from the station for a period of one year.
		KPFA is already spending too much airtime supporting itself through pledge drives, she said.

	August 1999: Thousands Rally to Defend KPFA Radio
		KPFA has been an important voice for those struggling to free Mumia Abu-Jamal, to oppose U.S. imperialist interventions worldwide, to defend the environment, and to fight for racial, sexual, and social equality.
		Resolutions in support of KPFA and free speech were quickly approved by groups ranging from the Berkeley City Council and San Francisco Board of Supervisors to the San Francisco and Alameda County central labor councils.
		Community activists and KPFA staff, paid and volunteer, are now engaged in many informal meetings regarding the station's future, plans for programming changes, and how best to prevent the sale and corporatization of this critical voice of dissent.

	Salon Feature \| The war over KPFA
		Now, angry protests outside KPFA are in their fourth day, more than 60 people have been arrested, new demonstrations are planned for the weekend and a lawsuit filed Friday in Alameda County upped the stakes in what has devolved into a naked power struggle for control of the Pacifica airwaves.
		She has said publicly that her motive for reforming KPFA is to increase the diversity of KPFA's listeners and staff.
		KPFA, the Pacifica flagship station, was founded in 1946 by Lewis Hill.

	KPFA Project Profile
		We were retained by KPFA in 1990 to consult on the construction aspects of the new facility.
		KPFA on-air control room was the first room up and we went on the air with it as scheduled on October 4, 1991.
		The KPFA ON-AIR control room was setup to allow for normal Disc Jockey combo operation; for a board operator to engineer for talent located in anyone or more of the studios; and for a board operator/personality to host with guests sitting across from them in the room.

	KPFA Vs. Pacifica: The End of Community Radio?
		As KPFA inspired similar stations in Los Angeles, New York, Houston, and Washington, Pacifica found itself overseeing a loose network, and each station had its own fierce disputes with the foundation, generally around labor issues and control of scheduling, with the Foundation always on the more conservative side of the argument.
		Larry Bensky, a veteran KPFA programmer, violated Pacifica's gag rule by discussing Sawaya's firing on the air; Bensky was fired in April.
		For Pacifica to grant KPFA self-control would have the same effect as Gorbachev's relaxation of control in Eastern Europe; a successful rebellion by KPFA would certainly lead to declarations of independence from the other stations.

	KPFA and the Administration (fall 1964)
		Thus, KPFA has served and continues to serve as a vital channel of communication and education among the students, the faculty, the Administration and the community at large -- certainly the state's most discriminating radio audience.
		For a dramatic and detailed understanding of KPFA's relations to University affairs,one might turn to the circumstances attendant upon the station's (proposed) coverage of the debate between Fred Schwarz, leader of the Christian Anti-Communist Crusade, and William Mandel, a prominent Sovietologist and commentator for KPFA.
		In view of this, KPFA decided to act on principle, i.e., to be satisfied with nothing less than its usual full coverage, and to avoid acquiescing in what might thereby become an undesirable precedent.

	KPFA Issues
		KPFA was founded 50 years ago by a group of pacifists whose vision was that, in a violent age, the flow of news and information was limited to those who reinforce established beliefs and government policy.
		In Northern California, the enormous support for KPFA throughout the region is a historic instance of grassroots activism on behalf of community radio.
		KPFA’s battle with Pacifica is a struggle for democratic possibilities at a time of rampant go-along-to-get-along homogenization and centralization.

		KPFA was the first; started in 1949, it is the oldest listener supported FM station in America.
		KPFA's staff began airing regular public statements, demanding the reinstatement of Sawaya and Bensky and calling for the independent mediation of the dispute.
		Berry told reporters that KPFA's staff were free to return to the building (save Nicole Sawaya and Larry Bensky), that the gag rule would be lifted, and that after a period of six months Pacifica would review KPFA's performance to see whether it had met the foundation's alleged goals for diversity and outreach.

	RW ONLINE:KPFA: The Struggle Continues
		Now in the heat of this struggle for control over KPFA, she quickly accuses her opponents of obstructing "diversity"--and this is so typical of the Clinton forces who specialize in combining the politics of cruelty and the economics of imperialism with the rhetoric of inclusion.
		Around the KPFA situation (and everywhere else) they insist that anything to the left of them is ineffective and outdated, and that they alone form a viable alternative to the militant right--while all those who follow them find themselves drawn further and further to the right.
		KPFA staffer Allison Rolls told me, "The other completely overwhelming aspect of this is the unity that has been created and the ties that have been forged between people who never spoke to each other before.

	(4/19/99) Demonstators Protest KPFA Firings, "Gag Rules"
		Dennis Bernstein, the host of KPFA's popular news magazine program, Flashpoints, arrived at the rally with a blue bandanna tied over his mouth in protest of the gag rule, but he soon removed it and served as master of ceremonies for much of the rally.
		Without exception, the speakers said Sawaya had been one of the best things to happen to KPFA in many years, and that she was a caring and committed person who listened to programmers' problems, tried to find solutions, and brought out the best in people.
		Many details specific to KPFA, including the text of several speakers at Thursday's rally and a transcript of that day's KPFA news broadcast about it are available on the Web at http://www.venier.net/savepacifica/.

		Eight KPFA women are filing with the Department of Fair Employment and Housing (DFEH) to protest sexual harassment by Campanella, as well as a persistent pattern of discrimination based on gender, and the creation of a hostile workplace for women at the station.

	AsianWeek: Static Hits High at KPFA (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		Ironically, KPFA -- America’s first listener-supported radio station -- was founded in 1949 by a group of World-War-II conscientious objectors with a mission of spreading the word of world peace and justice, said Phil Osegueda, the station’s assistant to the general manager.
		KPFA Supporters have viewed her as largely responsible for the terminations.
		At the center of the controversies has been a suspicion that Pacifica is trying to make KPFA more palatable to mainstream corporate interests, for instance by replacing hard-edge political programs with ones that cover lighter topics such as health, spiritual and social issues.

		We raised $605,000 and 6 out of 7 pledged "under protest," which meant they were supporting the demands of the staff for the return of Sawaya and Bensky, repeal of all disciplinary action against other staffers, and mediation of the underlying dispute.
		This direction [sic] applies to all KPFA or Pacifica personnel, including employees and volunteers alike, is without exception and also applies to all news broadcasts and programming.
		After that two short statements in support of the staff at KPFA were aired,one by Mumia Abu Jamal, the other by Skoop Nisker.

	Take action on behalf of KPFA Radio!
		KPFA is you, the listeners who receive and support the groundbreaking broadcasting we have been producing for the past 50 years.
		KPFA is an electronic lifeline for many of us and its independent integrity must be preserved and strengthened.
		To withdraw funds from KPFA Radio would be the equivalent of starving a child because their parent is abusing them, or applying sanctions against KPFA because of the actions of Pacifica.

	Jeff Blankfort: Time to Take Back KPFA? : SF Indymedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		Within the station, those who had collaborated with Pacifica and KPFA management during those purges and who had arranged sweetheart sinecures for themselves in return, are still running the station behind the scenes, never having been called to account for their cowardly behavior.
		It is also realistic to assume that had such an individual been hired by Pacifica or KPFA management during the struggles of the late Nineties, there would have been mass protests at the station.
		In the spirit of democracy as well as Pacifica's founding mission, listeners must call on the KPFA Local Station Board to have the finalists for the general manager position appear at a public meeting to present their vision of that mission, and answer questions from listeners and staff.

	KPFA on the Air - The Story
		KPFA ON THE AIR is a case study of the pitfalls and possibilities confronting any experiment in media democracy.
		KPFA grew out of the conviction of Lew Hill and a small group of fellow World War II pacifists that the best hope for peace in the dawning nuclear age was open dialogue between people with different points of view.
		As KPFA ON THE AIR was being edited, the nonprofit Pacifica board that owns the station fired a number of long-time programmers and subsequently locked out the KPFA staff.
	www.itvs.org /kpfaontheair/story.html (323 words)

	[No title]
		The world's first listener-sponsored station, KPFA in Berkeley, was the result of Hill's conviction that truth-telling is the path to peace—and that financial independence is the path to truth.
		The story of Pacifica is rife with problems that defy easy answers; it is a credit to everyone involved in making this film that it strives to present the complexity of its subject rather than making a run at determining who was "right" at any particular moment.
		And it is this very characteristic that gives KPFA On The Air its evergreen appeal, for after watching it we understand that it is the ideas behind Pacifica that create the conflict we see today—and that conflict is the one constant at Pacifica.

		But at the core of the squabble is the suspicion by many that Pacifica plans to sell KPFA's signal for an estimated $60 million to $90 million to establish a trust for the chain's four remaining stations.
		THE CURRENT STRUGGLE for control of KPFA's airwaves is the latest chapter in a long tradition of free speech and civil liberties.

		KPFA staff and their supporters--warring with Pacifica since Executive Director Lynn Chadwick fired KPFA manager Nicole Sawaya in March--did not have the expected response to the unexpected offer.
		But she also said the board would listen to offers for KPFA, such as a reported bid from the Berkeley city council that at least now appears to be little more than a rumor.
