Come on Freepers lay it ole Wendy.

[egarvue]

Ahhh, Pacifica. IIRC, this is a lefty-leaning radio network. Kind of like the "Alter-net" news wire for "alternative" newspapers. Or CBS for television. Take your pick...

[gcruse]

Pacifica? Isn't that the group that broke away from NPR because NPR wasn't leftist enough? And does a Pacifica station play country music? Too surreal.

[MigrantOkie]

These people might be beyond help this is from their web site:

"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.

With over 30 Music Programs and 35 Public Affairs shows, KPFT is for people who actively seek alternatives to music and public affairs programming. There's not another station on the FM dial here in Houston with more programming diversity than KPFT, 90.1 FM.

KPFT is radio with a vision. Check us out at 90.1 FM on your dial or listen live on the web. You can also visit us in person. We're located in the heart of Montrose in Houston."

In the middle of queer Montrose.Maybe the Admin should delete this one.

I'm sure you have something to add to this fast breaking news story.......

[Theresa]

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

[Jewels1091]

Just emailed them!

[F-117A]

This is good. The Chix will drive their regular listeners away so no body will be listening to them. Heard they'll then change their call sign to KPUT!

I'm sorry guys but these guys are just beyond the pale. I had no idea. I'm only visiting Houston for work and not much longer at that. I didn't know. There's no convincing these guys to see the light of patriotism. I'm going to go throw up now.

[bradactor]

I sent them an email in their feedback form and told them how ludicrous it was for a leftist station to even play country and western music. But what can one expect from a so called "foundation" station.

KPFT is a joke. Not many Houstonians know it even exists. I was with a friend in their car and they were channel surfing on the radio and came across KPFT's prison show. The families of convicts can call the show up and talk over the air to their relatives that are listening in prison or jail. Anyway, this one woman called in to say hi to her two sons that were locked up and wanted to say how proud she was of them. We had a good laugh over that one.

[Hank Rearden]

"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.

"administrative assistant" = office secretary.

Sounds pretty authoritative, all right.

[Flyer]

Uh oh, does this mean I have to change my profile page??

[Paul_B]

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.

[mewzilla]

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

[bert]

The Eurochicks are an affront to America.

[finnman69]

pacifica radio? So they have what? 12 listeners?

[Robert A Cook PE]

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.
