Changes Message-ID: <00b201c196fc$2c725560$0b3c7f18@bozocontrol> Democracy Now! is returning to the entire Pacifica Network this Monday. KFCF will broadcast the one-hour show at 6 AM and 9 AM for one week in order to allow stations around the country to retune their satellite receivers from the KFCF channel, (which has been distributing DN! during its' exile from Pacifica) to the Pacifica satellite channel. Beginning Jan. 14th, DN! will only be heard at 9 AM on KFCF. Democracy Now! is only being produced as a one hour show effective Jan 7th. The 6 AM feed will be discontinued on the KFCF satellite channel and on KFCF as affiliates should have retuned their satellite receivers to the Pacifica channel. KFCF is proud to have helped keep Democracy Now! on the air around the country since last August and looks forward to a better, stronger Democracy Now! in the future and a restoration of Pacifica's stations and network under the guidance of the interim Pacifica National Board. Here's more info: -Rych Goodman AND Gonzalez Return Monday Source: Lyn Gerry, 1/4 Amy Goodman has agreed to immediately resume airing Democracy Now! on the main Pacifica satellite uplink (as opposed to the Ku-band system used by KFCF to carry the show). Juan Gonzalez, the former co-host who resigned to start the Pacifica Campaign and aid greatly in the boycott and direct actions, will join her. This is the good news. The bad news is that the station managers, some of whom are currently in open revolt against the new national board, may very well choose not to throw the right switch and put it onto their own airwaves. For example, KPFK's own gagmeister Mark Schubb has been complaining on-air that outside forces are trying to influence his program decisions, and also that he has a problem with any show from a non-union shop airing on what is (nominally, anyway) a unionized station. This AFTRA reference is probably another good example of Pacifica management's seemingly unending distortion and fact omission when telling their side of the truth. In fact, it is rather odd that Schubb, who ironically enough comes from the Screen Actors Guild, is suddenly so pro-union. He certainly wasn't when Pat Scott was union-busting the UE shop at KPFK in the mid-90s. For Immediate Release from DN!: January 4, 2002 Democracy Now! Returns from Exile in Bold Move at Pacifica Radio Network The Award-Winning Radio Show That Broadcast Blocks from Ground Zero even as it was banned from the airwaves of its parent organization, returns to Pacifica radio stations throughout the United States on Monday, Jan. 7. NEW YORK (January 4)-- Democracy Now!, the award-winning national radio show that was banned in August from the progressive Pacifica Radio Network returns to the Pacifica airwaves on Monday, bringing to the general public the voices of some of the harshest critics of the "war on terrorism." On Monday, Goodman will be reunited on -air with former co-host Juan Gonzalez for the first time in a year, when Gonzalez resigned to found a national grassroots campaign to reclaim the Pacifica stations. Guests will also include filmmaker Michael Moore. Democracy Now! was banished from Pacifica as part of the Pacifica Radio crisis, which many community radio activists say was an attempted corporate takeover of the only progressive radio network in the United States. The crisis moved toward resolution last month when three lawsuits against the Pacifica board of directors were settled, and the board of directors was reconstituted. The new board majority is determined to return the 50+ year old listener-sponsored network to its peace and social justice mission. One of the first moves of the new board was to vote at their first board meeting, a conference call on December 29, 2001, to bring back Democracy Now! Democracy Now! is the flagship national program of the Pacifica Radio Network, and its host Amy Goodman has won numerous journalism awards. But, as part of the ongoing conflict within the Pacifica Radio Network, Goodman was forced off the airwaves at most Pacifica stations and joined the ranks of dozens of journalists who were censored or banned by Pacifica. Democracy Now!'s host and producers were physically and verbally harassed out of the studios of WBAI in New York City when that station was "re-programmed" by Pacifica management and board leaders and subsequently banned from four of the five Pacifica Radio stations: WBAI in New York, WPFW in Washington, DC, KPFK in Los Angeles and KPFT in Houston. But rather than stop producing the show, Democracy Now! has expanded. In addition to broadcasting on Pacifica Station KPFA in Berkeley and KFCF, Fresno , the program aired on community radio stations around the country and has begun broadcasting a daily national TV show which airs on Free Speech TV--channel 9415 of dish network (Satellite TV)-- and public access cable tv stations around the country. Since the attacks of September 11, Democracy Now! has provided some of the most incisive programming on war and terrorism to be found anywhere on radio or television. On December 10, 2001, Democracy Now! broke the news of a University of New Hampshire professor's study documenting that close to 4,000 civilians have died in Afghanistan as a result of the U.S. bombing. Other recent guests on the show have included Ahmed Rashid, Pakistani journalist and author of 'Taliban: Militant Islam, Oil, and Fundamentalism in Central Asia' , discussing the oil-slicked road to war in Afghanistan, Tahmeena Faryal, spokeswoman for Revolutionary Association of the Women of Afghanistan (RAWA), Arundhati Roy, activist and author of The God of Small Things, Howard Zinn, Professor Emeritus of History at Boston University, author of A People's History of the United States, and Noam Chomsky, author and linguist at MIT. Pacifica Radio has been embroiled in controversy since 1999, when the Network's managers shut down KPFA of Berkeley. That shut down caused the largest protests in Berkeley since the Vietnam War. In December 2000, Pacifica "re-programmed" its New York City station, WBAI, by firing and banning long-time programmers and eviscerating the station's progressive political programming. Last August, Pacifica suspended Amy Goodman and removed Democracy Now! from the Pacifica airwaves. But on December 12, 2001, it was announced that plaintiffs who sued the Network reached a settlement with the Pacifica board of directors that could end years of strife at Pacifica. The settlement created a new interim board of directors that draws its members from Pacifica's local advisory boards, its current board majority, and its board minority. Now there is hope among Pacifica Radio activists that the crisis is coming to an end and they will have a chance to rebuild the progressive radio network. Among the issues yet to be resolved are the return of the fired and banned producers at network-wide and resolution of the news stringers strike against Pacifica Network News.

We are still trying to figure out where the audio feed will come from. Larry Bensky would host. It would probably go from 6AM through Sunday Salon and perhaps into Across the Great Divide. Also, we are working on maybe carrying the Clemency Hearing for Stephen Wayne Anderson who is scheduled to be executed at San Quentin State Prison. The hearing is scheduled for Jan 18th that is a Friday from 12:30 and perhaps up to 4....when I know I will let you know. We are planning to do coverage of the execution (should it go forward) with news reports beginning at 8pm through midnight. More on that as we finalize things.
