In Houston, listener-sponsored Pacifica radio station KPFT (90.1 FM), said it would play the Dixie Chicks now more than ever.

"I just heard about it an hour ago from a caller who said there is some kind of boycott against the Dixie Chicks," said Wendy Schroell, KPFT administrative assistant. "That is the craziest thing I have ever heard. We are going to be playing them all the time.

[Flyer]

"Landslide" might be appropriate.

[WarSlut]

The thought of Pacifica "listeners" being deluged with Vichy Chicks music makes me giggle...

Now that you put it like that... me too.

[chemicalman]

That list is grounds for boycotting the station!...lol

Pacifica

You tax dollars at play.

[irish guard]

Remember, every radio station below 92 on the radio dial has to be a Not for profit....these are just lefties that used to have a country western format to attract listeners.....their true beliefs just came out......call in and ask them to move on up to 95 on the dial and they will have to tell the truth.....and, noone will listen to them

[wgeorge2001]

FM? Ohhh yeah. Do people still listen to FM channels?

[InfraRed]

In Houston, listener-sponsored Pacifica radio station KPFT (90.1 FM), said it would play the Dixie Chicks now more than ever.

This should be welcome news to both of the KPooFTer listeners.

[Tax Government]

KPFT, one of the five stations owned by the Pacifica Foundation, like her sister stations in New York City, Washington DC, Los Angeles and Berkeley, California, accepts no corporate underwriting or advertising.

Pacifica is discriminating against corporate persons by denying them the right to advertise. Corporate persons, like natural ones, have legal rights. And for Pacifica to deny a class of people the right to advertise might be grounds for a lawsuit.

[mewzilla]

Forget talking/writing the station. Contact its advertisers. That will send a message.

[mewzilla]

Or in the case of a Pacifica station, its corporate donors.

[TADSLOS]

LOL! That looks like a list of potential skits for Saturday Night Live.

[bert]

The Eurochicks are an affront to America.

[finnman69]

pacifica radio? So they have what? 12 listeners?

[ImpBill]

"What is KPFT, 90.1 FM?

KPFT 90.1 FM, is your listener-sponsored community radio station serving greater Houston and the Texas Gulf Coast since 1970.

KPFT, one of the five stations owned by the Pacifica Foundation, like her sister stations in New York City, Washington DC, Los Angeles and Berkeley, California, accepts no corporate underwriting or advertising.

KPFT's Mission is Pacifica's Mission: we seek to educate, to encourage and provide outlets for the creative skills and energies of the community.

We seek to contribute to a lasting understanding between nations and between the individuals of all nations, races, creeds and colors. And, we seek to promote full distribution of public information."

If this isn't a collection of lefty goble-di-gook buzz words then none have ever been written.

[finnman69]

pacifica country music consists of folksy crap by people who look like the guitar playing granola eating hippie kristina olsen in Baghdad.....can't find a pic of her

[AmericanMade1776]

What would really be cruel is to have KPFT(90.1FM) Piped into the area were Saddam is and play it none stop, he will probably surrender quicker than Noriega.

[pollywog]

This is easy, just kill two birds with one stone....boycot KPTF.

LOLOL!! and then promote Darryl Worley's new song " Have They Forgotten".!!!

KICKS (?) 101.5 in Atlanta dropped the Vichy Chicks from Atlanta's airtime this weekend, and is running a telephone poll to see if they get played again next week.

"I just heard about it an hour ago from a caller who said there is some kind of boycott against the Dixie Chicks," said Wendy Schroell, KPFT administrative assistant. "That is the craziest thing I have ever heard. We are going to be playing them all the time.

So?

The Dixie Chicks would get more listeners if I played their music in my attic.
