Talk:KPFA

message: I do not feel it's appropriate for me to do the editing as I work at KPFA, but I can say that the entire "Labor Dispute" section is misinformation. This is my take on it: some people who are on the weaker side of a power struggle at the station are trying to frame three different events into a unified whole. The 1999 struggle (before my time) was not led by Dennis Bernstein and has nothing to do with Nadra Foster's arrest. Which in turn is not related to the unpaid staff dispute. Putting all three under one umbrella is an attempt to tar current management with a broad brush that is not based in fact.
I'd be happy to say more if anyone has any questions.
It's also important to note that there will be A LOT MORE controversy at the station (KPFA) and the network (Pacifica) in the coming months, and wikipedia entries are going to suffer. Op-eep (talk) 22:11, 19 June 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: There is a conflict of interest guideline. Can you point out any specific lines at are false? Having the paragraphs under one section was trimming a few editors did when the article was mainly about labor disputes throughout its history. I disagree with your assessment that it leads the reader one way or the other but if you have any suggestions on how to clean it up that would be great. Maybe your fresh eyes on the article will improve it.Cptnono (talk) 21:42, 21 June 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: "Labor Dispute" section is entirely political

message: Occasionally, I listen to KPFA. It's not a "favorite," and from my experience (having heard numerous public radio stations throughout the USA), it is NOT top notch, either in programming or operations. Quite frankly, it sucks!
That opinion aside, the reason I read this article was that I had hoped to find some interesting history, fascinating tidbit or something of value about KPFA which I could share with others. I found only one, and it is so insignificant that were I to share it with the "average" person, they wouldn't care. (There's more history about the station at other places.)
I found this article to be an outlet to "bitch, moan and whine." It is NOT about the radio station. It is about a petty labor dispute among some folks that has escalated because they think they have "rights" to something where they VOLUNTEER their time! 
This article should be MOVED to a "Labor Dispute" category. 
And on a personal note, if I didn't like what went on somewhere, I'd go somewhere else. I wouldn't hang around where I wasn't wanted, and certainly wouldn't be so stupid as to jeopardize the life of my unborn child by behaving so foolishly! 
LORD have mercy... don't be stupid like that poor woman, who now has a criminal record, amassed enormous bills associated with her stupid actions and who knows where this'll end? 
Sounds to me like it's time for those folks to MOVE ON!
Chances are, some KPFA "freak" will come in here and obliterate this message. If they do... oh well. It would only serve to further demonstrate a piss-poor attitude, which is probably the reason they were kicked out anyway. Folks don't get the axe 'cause they're doing excellent jobs, you know. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.229.114.16 (talk) 2009-01-03T00:22:30
:The more contentious sections are overly weighted. These sections should be reduced. If appropriate, a new article for these issues could be used. Any thoughts.Cptnono (talk) 05:59, 19 January 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Article should be renamed and MOVED to a NEW category 

message: It's PAINFULLY obvious that few - if any - give a shit about KPFA and their "liberal" agenda. 
This article, in stark contrast to the information available online, is still woefully inadequate... which only demonstrates that the liberal "FREAKS" that hang their greasy hats there have absolutely NO CLUE as to what radio, or the mission of the radio station is, or what to say in this, ahem... "encyclopedic" article. 
KPFA... a "has-been" and "wanna-be" in a "you're shit out of luck" world. 
If they're TRULY "listener supported" then they're in for a shocking surprise. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.234.112.223 (talk) 2009-01-30T00:21:41‎
:LOL. I'm sure someone can add that info without those exact words. I'll try to add some stuff on the actual station.Cptnono (talk) 19:05, 30 January 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Please start the "it STILL SUCKS" category... 

message: I remember being there the day Lou Schwitzer, who owned WBAI in New York, called to tell the then manager Harold Winkler that WBAI was to be given to KPFA.  Winkler, not a particularly friendly fellow to a teen volunteer, was dancing in the corridors of what seemed to me at the time to be the spacious studios above Edy's Ice Cream shop.  This thing about management and controversy within the station seems from what I know to be endemic. There was a strike, some people did not like Elsa Knight Thompson (I did not especially) and I remember being a strikebreaker.  Maybe I just liked being on the air, or should I say being an announcer and control board operator.  I don't think I cared too much about that controversy of the day.   There were, of course many others, before I was there, during the time I was around, and since.   Only the big not so recent one is covered.   Maybe I can fill in some day with what little I know, but I seem to recall reading about how the effect of the marijuana broadcast was hotly debated within the station. As time went on, each controversy, one after another, was divisive.
I might come back here ...  or maybe not.  Just to note that a lot of history, much of which is important to the station, the community, the nation and the world is lacking.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Akemwave (talk • contribs) 10:26, 16 April 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Missing History 

message: Negativland  -- Somebody is really reaching. (Don Joyce; perhaps.)  ...and others listed? That list has the appearance of Kidsland.  It needs trimming. A ~7-word description added to each member would be useful.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2602:306:CFCE:1EE0:4EE:A8F6:B9AF:67BE (talk) 21:50, 12 June 2019 (UTC)

thread_title:  KPFA Logp 

message: Their FCC license here states 24th August 1946 was their original incorporation date, but this article says 1949? Would it really have taken 3 years to get broadcasting? Anyone know any more details? https://files.fcc.gov/download/a9d368a3-87a5-4df9-969c-43773d36e25d.pdf  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Apeholder (talk • contribs) 04:20, 7 October 2019 (UTC)
