KPFA: Show Cancellation at Local Radio Station (Video)
The KPFA The Morning Show cancellation issue drew 200 people for a rally on Tuesday outside the KPFA studios in Berkeley. The show hosts - Aimee Allison and Brian Edwards-Tiekert, and Morning Show Executive Producer Laura Prives and Esther Manilla - managed to lock themselves in a third floor studio and broadcast their show.

That went against the wishes of KPFA Executive Director Arlene Englehardt. She wanted to bring in a radio feed from the sister station in LA. But the LA producers managed to get sick. That paved the way for the guerrila show.
In the audience look for the number of people who aren't using camcorders. That's one problem with media today - it's in the hands of each of us, but we have to know to use it to make a difference.
KPFA and NPR
What is it about Liberal Media lately? Why does it seem like the one medium needed to make a difference is coming apart at the seams? NPR has the embarrassing Juan Williams issue, and KPFA has this matter, where both seem like they're being ran by Old Media thinkers.

Take your L.A.news and views with you to L.A. and leave us alone and let us decide for our kpfa. I am not interested in your morning show anymore and taking all my support to other stations.
ReplyDeleteI loved morning shows for decades. it is totally unfortunate for kpfa that somebody that stupid is making decision for it. take her$90.0000. salary away. we are working hard everyday and most of us make $10.00 an hour.
obviously she has no brain to deserve this salary.
