I was one of many listener-sponsors active in the pushback against the Pacifica
national board’s closure of KPFA radio and attacks on programmers a decade ago.
Then, we confronted the agenda of national board persons such as Mary Frances
Berry. Non-profits like the Tides Foundation operated below the radar screen.
How does this history connect with current events in Berkeley and across the
Pacifica system?

Doyle;
In an over all sense the impasses do lead to dead ends if let go. But I don't
think it is quite right to say corpse. The example of the radio stations
trying to incorporate conventional corporate structure is eye opening.
Starting with a minority in higher board functions, and user the levers of
power the corporatist system paralyzed function in the Pacifica Network.
Still the technology of sound reproduction is evolving as well as the current
financial crisis. Community resources are likely to grow stronger as this
strain upon the U.S. builds tensions in the public.
The community forces of which I am part have options that the
corporate interests can't stifle just by bankrupting Pacifica.
I would say I've seen my side grow stronger and more resilient in the
struggle. We are preparing more responses and intend to struggle.
thanks,
Doyle Saylor
