Fundraising Update for January 18th

The new NV20 is up the mountain and installed. We're making great strides toward getting our new transmitter operational, SoCal - thank you!

Total raised to date: $43,354. Help us reach the $100K we need! Donate.

Once upon a time in 1959, the Pacifica Foundation was granted a license to broadcast on 90.7 fm to all of Southern California. At 110K watts, it was to be the strongest signal west of the Mississippi.

In the 53 years since, we’ve experienced a lot of wear and tear from the elements: ice, wind, snow, fires, electrical outages… You name it, we’ve had it!

The new transmitter has arrived from Bangor, Maine. When it is installed, together with the other NV20 transmitter we acquired last year, we will once again transmit at our original 110K watts - a very exciting prospect for the New Year!

We haven't covered the entire cost of the improvement yet, so please spread the word to friends and family who believe that the independent voice found in the programming of KPFK is essential for a vibrant democracy.

Pacifica 2012 Board Elections

The KPFK elections are over. A quorum was not reached in the listener Local Station Board Delegate election. This means the current board members continue to serve until the next election, or until they reach their six-year consecutive term limit.

The KPFK staff election failed to reach quorum and the election has failed to elect any candidates to the LSB. Even with all possible close date extensions, and allowing "reasonable time" for staff to return ballots even after the four week extension of the close date to January 8, the total number of staff ballots received by ESC was 57. The minimum number of ballots required to reach quorum was 61.

The current staff delegates of the KPFK LSB continue to serve until the next election unless any of them would then exceed the six year term limit on continuous service.
