I grew up with WBAI in New York. Until recently, I’d’ve said I’d give my eyeteeth for a Pacifica station in Boston. What’s Going On at Pacifica?
“Sorting out who is right and who is wrong in this story is a near-impossible task given the management blunders and
heavy-handedness on the one side, and the insults, harassment and threats on the other side. Both sides could claim the

and political effectiveness; KPFA and its defenders presented a resounding case that “free-speech radio”–Pacifica’s traditional
no-holds-barred programming–was threatened by a sanitized, NPR-style takeover by establishment liberals.” [The Nation]
