[grc] CPB defunding

[Kim Kaufman]

KPFK, Pacifica's Los Angeles station, was defunded by CPB last year. CPB
gave it three years to raise its listenership and donations and it failed to
do so.

Hi GRCers,

I'm returning to the community radio world after a hiatus -- just became the
manager of KZMU in Moab, one of the stations on CPB's chopping block.
After 23 years as a community institution, KZMU is now deemed not to have a
big enough NFFS to be supported by CPB. Too small to succeed. And I'm
wondering how many other stations are in the same boat. I think the
situation calls for concerted action -- action aimed at CPB, with our
supporters and elected officials.

Please let me know if your station is one of the soon-to-be-defunded, or
among the stations that were never funded because of budgetary reasons.
Also, any ideas you have about the situation are most welcome.

Thanks,
Marty Durlin
