>From the article:
Kenneth A. Ford, vice chairman of the
foundation's board, insisted in an interview
that no one on the board had ever suggested
giving "a milquetoast appearance" to Pacifica's
programming. But he also said, quoting an
industry guru he would not name, that Pacifica
"had a mission at one time and had a credible
voice but now it has gone from being
insignificant to irrelevant."
I listen to KPFA every day on my commute and it
is about the only intelligent thing on the band.
[commute is from Santa Cruz into Silicon Valley]
My impression is listeners support the station[s]
and are keeping it afloat. If that's the case,
than give us what we want. The Pacifica board is
simply trying everything to squelch progressive
voices. -Steve Grube
